I am trying to find a character I can use as an internal (to my program) data separator which will not be intentionally entered as a value, AND which will not be located by Position, or Replace (without the optional "*").
I initially was using Char(254) but apparently it maps as variation of some letter (Oh - O I think)... Anyway, I was thinking of changing to use anyone of Char(1) -> Char(7), as it seems that these would be nearly impossible to be embedded in text data either in an entry field, a copy/paste from ??, or even in a text file. Are there any specific issues with any of these characters I need to know about? My end result might look like this: For($i;1;count fields($table_ptr)) $Field := Field($table_num;$i) $Text := $Text+_Convert_to_Text($Field)+$Internal_Separator end for where $Internal_Separator = Char(1) (or 2 -> 7) Thanks Chip --------------- Gas is for washing parts Alcohol is for drinkin' Nitromethane is for racing ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
