Thanks for all the help - I came up with some code that works for me using
parse:
foreach line read/lines %inbox.txt [
if found? find line "item_desc=" [
parse line [
thru "item_desc=" copy item_desc to "&barcode_number="
thru "&barcode_number=" copy barcode_number to "&serial_number="
thru "&serial_number=" copy serial_number to "&percent_discount="
thru "&percent_discount=" copy percent_discount to "&dollar_discount="
thru "&dollar_discount=" copy dollar_discount to "&sale_type="
thru "&sale_type=" copy sale_type to "&house_work="
thru "&house_work=" copy house_work to "&instore_time="
thru "&instore_time=" copy instore_time to "&expiration_date="
thru "&expiration_date=" copy expiration_date to end
]
easy as pie once you know what parse does!
