Want to filter a stream of records, letting only certain ones through based on a keyword in each record. What we know: -the keyword could be anywhere in the first 30 characters -the keyword is space delineated (no leading space if keyword is first word) -the first and last part of that keyword -the count of unknown characters separating the first and last parts of the keyword
For an example: Within the first 30 characters of the record is the keyword : 'HCP??????E ' , with exactly 6 unknown characters (no blanks) between 'HCP' and 'E '. I know XEDIT's LOCATE can perform a similar search via the arbitrary character option 'SET ARBCHAR ON ?'. I know PIPE's FIND can do this with blanks, but only if the keyword begins in column 1. (Or a static column (not a range) using ZONE.) Aside from creating a sipping stage/custom filter, is there any provision for performing natively in PIPE such an action as this? --Shawn S.
