If I know the lengths of an input string and the length of a buffer, I can specify a pad character and copy it with MVCL. If I know that it is delimited by, e.g., a blank, I can use MVST but I run the risk of a buffer overrun. Is there a quick way to copy a delimited string without overrunning either the input or output buffer and without resorting to TRT?
