Hi Bob,
I would first check that the squares mean all the same char:
In the message box: put charToNum("9") with some "9" picked here and
there.
If it's the same char (I think so): it's the delimiter (when you have
1, 2 or 3 "9", it probably means that the data are empty):
replace "9" with tab in tDataOutput
put tDataOutput into fld "I want to see it"
set the tabstops of the field according to its contents :-)
Hope this helps.

I've read a binary file containing entries in a database and put
each record on
a line in a field.
I dont know how to write in a wee square so imagine the 9 is a square.
The fields has records in it like this
999oppn9999date9999loca9999rslt9999fltr9999note9999rec1999rec2
999rec399rec4999rec599rec6
Now the number of squares can be variable (normally from 2->4) and
the line can
have blank spaces in it (not in amongst the squares)
It seems like the squares are the delimiters. The first entries are
the field
names (eg 6 entries) the later ones (again 6 entries) are the data.
So I could get my data by counting the number of entries in the line,
divide by two,
put the result into a variable varentries
--and put the entries into a field via
put item varentries+1 into firstitem
put firstitem into field 1
put firstitem+1 into firstitem
etc etc
But how do I ignore the squares and have them as an entry delimiter.

Eric Chatonet.
