That's is pretty big, my personal experience with big files on udt was up to
about 60Gig - we did use memresize no problems - but had to set the TMPPATH
to another drive.

Except that CONVERT will take a from list and a to list. Much as Wil
winds me up,he is spot on here.
I often use that trick when validating input - if say I only want
numbers I will do something like
INPUT INPUTVAR
JUNK = CONVERT( 01234567890, , INPUTVAR)
CONVERT JUNK TO IN INPUTVAR
It relies
Thanks all!
I was trying to remove both CR and LF with a CONVERT and it did not appear
to be working... but when remove one item (CR or LF) at a time it does
indeed work. Tony and Will - Thanks!

UV's CHANGE or EREPLACE are synonyms:
EREPLACE(expression, substring, replacement [,occurrence [,begin] ] )
CHANGE (expression, substring, replacement [,occurrence [,begin] ] )
which pretty much mimic ED's Change command or Pick Editor's Replace.
UV's SWAP is different:
SWAP
Convert as mentioned by others does a character by character
replacement, so convert abc to def will convert all occurrences of
a to d, all occurrences of b to e and all occurrences of c to
f in the target string.
If the to string contains less characters than the from string, then
the to string
I'm jumping in so this option may have been discussed already but I think the
following would also do the trick:
X = ICONV(X,'MCB')

Sorry...I was a bit hasty in sending my previous response. In the case where
ONLY the ^010 and ^013 characters are to be removed I'd use CONVERT as
suggested. The ICONV function would remove the ^010 and ^013 characters out of
the string but it may remove a bunch of other characters from the

Counting SLoCs is meaningless.
Also... functional programming is out there
Hi Bill,
You'll still need to make sure the month and day are zero padded to get
YYMMDD.
Could you explain this:
/Counting SLoCs is meaningless.
Also... functional programming is out there now... multiple threads...
running on multiple cores. I am starting to treat variables as though
Bob,
Good idea! Currently I'm wrestling with just 2 control characters (010
and 013), but as you point out there are others that can cause trouble as
well. I should create an array of Trouble Makers and just loop through
them!
Thanks again,
Greg

Sorry...I was a bit hasty in
1. SLoC = Source Lines of Code. Complaining about code bloat reminds me of
the king in the Amadeus movie complaining about... too many notes.
2. Just like when .Net came out and many VB programmers moaned about the

Why not, during program init, build the undesired char list once, then
call CONVERT only once instead of hundreds of times each time
THIS.MESSAGE needs adjusting?
UNDESIRABLES = CHAR(127)
FOR CHARACTER = 128 TO 249
UNDESIRABLES:= CHAR(CHARACTER)
NEXT CHARACTER
or for better
FOR I = 1 TO X
do something
IF some condition THEN CONTINUE
do something else
NEXT I
versus
FOR I = 1 TO X
do something
IF NOT(some condition) THEN
do something else

1. I do not see a continue statement in the UniVerse manual.
2. There is the exit command... used to break out of a loop... when a certain
condition is satisfied.
3 The point of the original post is not clear to me.

You said you had no idea what it was.
How are you going to respond to the point, without knowing what the code

You said you had no idea what it was.
If there is only one condition then that's ok (also, you will need to zero the
condition
Prior to do something, otherwise, it will function as an EXIT)
But, if you have more than one place and/or condition in the loop that you want
to jump
To the next iteration, then I prefer to use
You mean like
FOR I = 1 TO X
do something
IF condition1 THEN CONTINUE
IF condition2 THEN CONTINUE
IF condition3 THEN CONTINUE
do something else

Of course this breaks the more than one exit point in a loop rule, but then

Who cares about that one, since were already breaking the pseudo goto rule!!

Hey fella who said he didn't see a CONTINUE.. isn't the point of a user
group to learn new things? I bet there are many things you've never seen -
happens to me too.
What I love about user groups is that, while there are a hundred good ways
to achieve something, there are really clever ways, e.g.
I have always admired Peter Norton's gift for writing with clarity.
If a valid definition of the word obvious... is... easy to see...
It was not apparent to me...
that there were two code snippets being compared to each other.
Thus, I would LIKE to apologize... but I am NOT going to do so.
What I'm wondering, and I probably shouldn't, is what this thread, and
similar ones, are meant to be; trolling, pontificating, postulating, or
just sowing the seeds of discontent? :-)
