Look For " "

[M626]

I am reading in a line and copying Mid(ldata, 4,10) for output to another file but is there a way I could copy everything between the 1st " and 2nd "

the line looks like this

"00 this is a test"

yeah, you can use instr

   intTemp0=instr(strTemp0,chr(34))
   intTemp1=instr(intTemp0+1,strTemp0,chr(34))

   strTemp1=mid(strTemp0,intTemp0+1,intTemp1-intTemp0)

...

Remember to make the appropriate checks for intTemp0 and intTemp1 being =0. That is, make sure some idiot didn't screw up the data.

HTH

You can also use a regular expression "Every day is like a precious gift, you have to make it count" James Birrell 1994-2002
