Re: [sqr-users] Unstring "ing" a dynamic length input file



Do you have to use SQR? Scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, 
all handle this nicely with a "split" command.

>>> ashokkuttan@yahoo.com 08/23/05 1:02 PM >>>
I have a file whose length is dynamic. Employee A might have 5 columns, whereas 
Employee B might have 10 columns. Hence I cannot use the traditional Unstring 
command to place in variables. Since this file is a comma delimited file, I was 
thinking of using "find" command to look for commas and then store the 
respective values in an array. Can anyone help me with the proper find loop or 
any other better solution  ?
 
File layout example (just one line): E,010,4500
 
Any help will be appreciated.
 
Thanks
 
JR
