I have a database application I am writing and the data comes to the Palm
device as a comma separated file.  The problem I have is that the columns of
data is not the same each time.  Starting with the 3rd column of data, there
may be as few as 5 more columns and as many as 50 or more. There is no way
to set the max number of columns. The reason I am asking this is because how
do I know what the start of the next column field is.  I set the offsets for
the starts of each field in the row of data by using defines.  I do not know
how to do this when the number of columns changes.

Data column example

Name Location  Description1 Value1 Description2 Value2 ....


The Description and value columns will vary between syncings.

Thanks in advance
Dean-O
