Hi Glen, well, the chunk "word n" is giving you the nth word of the string; so, it's right but using item will work as you ask for !
set the itemdelimiter to tab put item 3 of line 1 of fld "data" -- 23 tab 35 tab 76 tab 55 tab 99 -- gives ==> 76 put item 3 of line 1 of fld "data" -- 23 tab tab tab 76 tab 55 tab 99 -- gives ==> empty put item 5 of line 1 of fld "data" -- 23 tab tab tab 76 tab 55 tab 99 -- gives ==> 55 HTH regards, thierry | I have a field which is filled with tab delimited data there will | always be some "missing data" by the nature of the type of data being | collect. | | I have set the itemDelimiter to tab but that does not solve the | problem?? | | Example below I've "typed" the word tab to help explain | | 23 tab 35 tab 76 tab 55 tab 99 | -- put word 3 of line 1 of fld "data" | ==> 76 | 23 tab tab tab 76 tab 55 tab 99 | -- put word 3 of line 1 of fld "data" | ==> 55 (shouldn't it give 76 ??) | | Is this a bug, limitation, or a bad assumption? | | thanks, Glen | _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
