Re: Unstringing characters

[Arun Kumar <arunkumar13@YAHOO.COM>]

you need to make sure that the delimiting character
cannot appear in the first field.
Then you can use instr function find the position of
the delimiter and use the substr function to get the
field you are looking for.

hope this helps
