RE: Re: There has to be an easier way...

I know that the split would work but I split the line later. At this point in the program I am just trying to pull Those 2 fields from the line so that I can pass those fields and the line into my sub-routine. I am trying to do it without having to split the line a bunch of times. Thx though

Not only does split not damage your data, it is much more efficient then a reg-ex. And if you tell it exactly which elements you are looking for, it gets even more efficient. Trust the monks, re-read the man page for split and use it.	[reply]
