Re: Breaking 'like' text

Scott,
        Next-listing is the command you will use to accomplish this, but you
will also need to use arrays.  Because you don't know at the time of issuing
the next-listing command how many lines there will be, you will need to put
them in an array as you retrieve them, and then print them with the array
index in the need= parameter of next-listing.  You may be able to accomplish
this by breaking apart the query and doing counts before selecting the
records instead, but this would not perform as well.  Happy coding.
