Re: Extract field from pipe delimited flat file

Hi,

I really, sincerely hope that this is not real data. I would be terribly upset to see my name, e-mail and full address posted on some random web page.

Please respond or update your post to acknowledge that this data is fabricated, or I must recommend to the monks that this post be sanitized.

Update: Thanks to Masem for cleaning the code - I hadn't realized that a root SoPW node couldn't be updated (thanks to ChemBoy for pointing that out). I work in the healthcare field and am forced to think constantly about protecting patient data, so forgive me if I over-reacted.

Sincerely,
{NULE}

Personally, I don't think you over-reacted. We should all take great to protect personal data as much as possible. I think this is a good reminder for us all. I have a link in a bookmark file lying around somewhere, a Usenet post, recorded Deja/Google's archive. Some poor fool posted his credit card number on a newsgroup. Fortunately we can rectify such mistakes here on this site. On Usenet, you're out of luck. -- `g r i n d e r`	[reply]

It is not real data. I changed it to protect the innocent (or something like that). Thanks for looking out for dumb mistakes. I know I've made plenty. I will make sure in the future that I include verbage to let you know that it is not real. peppiv	[reply]
