I have a tab-delimited file containing email addresses in the second field.
I want to find those addresses whose localpart is longer than 8 characters
and handle them separately. I tried this, but it did not work. It complained
of a missing delimiter.

pipe (endchar ?)
...
| a: nlocate fs 05 ws @ substr w1 of f2 9
<here i expected to have the ones <=8 characters
...
? a:
<here i expected to have the ones >8 characters>
...

Where am I going wrong?
