[sqr-users] Re:unstring with variable columns

[David Donnelly <Dave@isisbio.com>]

You can still use unstring:

         read 1 into $in:80
! see note below about these  moves
         move '' to $a
         move '' to $b
         move '' to $c
         move '' to $d
         move '' to $e
         unstring $in by ',' into $a $b $c $d $e
         show $a ',' $b ','  $c ','  $d ',' $e

This works, leaving the unfilled variables set to null.  In 6.1.3, the 
initializing move statements are not necessary (and in fact they are 
ineffective, because the unstring statement actually sets all the "unused" 
variables to null.  But you should verify that this behavior still happens 
in your version of SQR, or explicitly set them all to null first.

Regards,

Dave
