That is what I was afraid of. Okay. So after listening to all of your comments (thus far since there is an annoying delay in these messages), here is what I like the best:
SWAP CHAR(9) WITH "" IN IN.TAB SWAP CHAR(10) WITH "" IN IN.TAB SWAP @VM WITH CHAR(9) IN IN.TAB SWAP @SM WITH CHAR(10) IN IN.TAB REPEAT REMOVE IN.LINE FROM IN.TAB SETTING MARK SWAP CHAR(9) WITH @VM IN IN.LINE SWAP CHAR(10) WITH @SM IN IN.LINE (do my thing with IN.LINE) UNTIL MARK DO REPEAT Any objections, concerns or better suggestions for using CHAR(10) as the temporary substitute for the @SM? I just picked it because it came right after CHAR(9) on my handy-dandy ASCII chart! Been using it since the 70's. Some things just never go out of style! David Laansma IT Manager Hubbard Supply Co.
