in reply to trying to do a parse based on starting position.

If, as it appears to be, you are parsing the output of an query on a database, why not print the column names (as well as their values) and parse on that or .... better still, adjust the query to select only the column in which you're interested ?

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
