substr command

[Matta25]

i have the following script:
while findfirst "file1"
fopen 0 $filename read
fgets 0 aline
substr svalue 0 3
if strfind svalue "xxx"
(do this process)
else if strfind svalue "ZZZ"
(do this process)
endif

I need to also have one more substr svalue 112 5 to get a block of text on the same line a svalue.
any help. thanks

Is there any reason you can't perform the second substr command after the if/else/endif structure?

i figures it out. the one block of data was at the beginning of the line and the second block was at column 112. when i wan the script the second block value was blank. this was because there was a cr&lf in the file and the data at column 112 was wrapped to the next line. it is old how one edit displays data one way an another does it another way.
thanks for the help again.
