Actually, this type of operation is the reason I created the R:Scripter. There is a plethora of vbscript, jscript and delphi code out there that does this stuff and you can cut and paste it into your text editor, debug it and pass it to the R:Scripter and it will do the work for you, returning the result to an RBase variable if you desire....
MSDN library should be your very good friend. It's free and an incomparable resource regardless of the programming language you use. An example, on the subject being discussed is at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/jsproattributes.asp And there are many delphi resources on the web.. When using delphi code examples, be mindful that you do not want to utilize any GUI stuff, just the meats and potatoes stuff and your code can be tested in the TestApplication that comes with R:Scripter.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David M.
