Nope, spoke too soon. That looks convincing, and worked on my initial testing - but doesn't actually work properly in all cases.
The problem is that the CRs are included within items - so given data like
a,abc,1
b,def,2
c,qwe,3
etc., item 1 is "a", item 2 is "abc", item 3 is "1
b" (i.e. including the cr), item 4 is "def", etc.
Clearly, that means itemOffset will never match what I think of as items that are first (or last) on each line.
In the above case, I want to be able to search for the line containing item "b" and find the second line.
How about:
function lineOffsetOfItem pItem,pData replace cr with comma & cr & comma in pData return lineOffset((comma & pItem & comma),(comma & pData & comma)) end lineOffsetOfItem
You could make the pData argument by reference if you're dealing with large datasets and don't want the overhead of call by value. Then you'd have store the offset to return and add a line to put pData back the way it was:
replace comma & cr & comma with cr in pData
