[EmData] Using characters within field as separator

Thu Jul 31 06:44:59 EDT 2008

OK, now I understand! So each 'line' is a single field, but in that field
the languages are separated by bullets.

Try this: go into XData Preferences, Data, Field Delimiter. Select 'Custom'
from the drop down menu and type in the bullet character used.

That way you can treat the Czech as the first field, Slovakian as the 2nd
etc.

You would still have problems as you want to use data from each record, then
go back to the beginning....

This can be done by reading records into an array, but I haven¹t time right
now to describe the process.

Joe??? I think lateral thinking is called for and I need to get back to
work!

Sorry!
