Re: Parsing irregularly delimited data

It might help if you give an example of what you want the data to look like when extracted!

A regular expression might be a better idea. Hint:

[A-Z]{2}
\w+\s+\d{1,2},\s+\d{4}\s+\d+

Thanks. A regular expression is probably the way to go when one doesn't know the number of elements. For eventual processing, all I need is for the data to be nicely delimited. "Bob's Company", "VA", "chickens and cows", "April 23 2003", 2365	[reply]
