Subj : A little stringing along To : Sean Dennis From : mark lewis Date : Fri May 07 2010 10:00 am SD> (after tinkering with the code a bit) ml> here's something i had laying around... the original used a ';' as a ml> divider with #32 and #9... i just changed the ';' to ',' so it would ml> break out all of the comma delimited fields as well... it is the 3rd ml> "str[i]" in each of the three while lines... SD> I actually want to skip over that entire comma-delimited section. ok, in that case, replace that ',' back with ';' as it was before i made that change... that'll pull out the 10 space delimited fields there are... i'm sure you've already found that the field count is 1 based and that it returns the empty string for non-existant fields... you can make it zero based by changing "count := 0;" to "count := -1;" ;) SD> I just am going to pull the first and last name, DCE rate, time SD> left and ANSI toggle for my needs. what's the field breakdown on that format? i was unable to locate anything in my library... i thought i had some gtuser code around here but i can't find it... i did find a bunck of stuff i have from joel bergen, though :P i'm not sure what field 1 is... 2 and 3 are obviously the first and last name... i don't see a DCE rate in there unless that's the "LOCAL" field...time left must be field 9... 10 would probably be the current time with 7 being the current date... no clue on "4880" in field 8... SD> I'll do a little more tinkering and thanks for the code; I think SD> I'll get it to do what I need it to do. :) not a problem... IIRC, that actually came from one of mark may's libraries ;) )\/(ark * Origin: (1:3634/12) .
