That won't get me any closer. Reason is that we have differing numbers of options possible. I really need to somehow identify where "PRN" (or /PRN or PRN= or ...) is. Once I have that, I can use FIELD on the double quotes to get what I want.
Double slashes won't work, either, as FIELD still just takes the first slash character and uses it. Here's a sample of the data line I'm working with but, again, the number of options and option commands can change. Only "/PRN=" is going to be guaranteed to be unique to that data position. (The sample may wrap but it's a single line.) 001: %BTW% /RUN /f="C:\BarTender\Template\Comply-FTL.btw" /d="\\ganymede\DCDOWN\5214411.dat" /p /PRN="BoxLabel3" /x Thanks, BobW -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of George Gallen Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2011 11:46 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Multi char delimiter in DICT item hmmm. looks like I need glasses...didn't see you already answered it.
