Hello all, I am new to the list and have what I believe is a pretty basic question, I'm just not sure where to begin.
I have a file where I need to search for the occurences of two variables (State and City) and then create another field (Location) based on the sum of the two previous values. I was wonderig if someone could recommend a method to do this? I don't mind hashing it out myself if someone might point me in the right direction. This is basically what I have now: State=Colorado City=Denver City=Boulder City=Longmont State=Texas City=Austin City=Dallas City=Houston This is what I would like the end result to be: State=Colorado City=Denver Location=DenverColorado City=Boulder Location=BoulderColorado City=Longmont Location=LongmontColorado State=Texas City=Austin Location=AustinTexas City=Dallas Location=DallasTexas City=Houston Location=HoustonTexas I guess my main question would be how to keep the 'State' value associated with the cities that follow it. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
