Ahh, wouldn't that be nice. ;-) No, I should have been more explicit:
The problem is that "MY TITLE / HERE" is just an example, the string
could be like:
DE*ALMOST ANYTHING COULD
or
DE*FOLLOW THE / DE
or
DE*MARKER SO A SIMPLE
or
DE*SOLUTION / ISNT POSSIBLE
Any ideas (on how to read the data one line at a time - or another
solution)?
Thanks,
Jamie
