You'd think it wouldn't be too hard but how do you handle all of the blanks (Hex 20) between the values? If it were a single TAB that'd be a piece of cake with APPEND but my first thought is that APPEND won't work on multiple continuous spaces like that. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/53872.69.7.77.20.1231791148.squir...@webmail.dssco.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
