in thread On Match Remove Field
Very well.
The following lines illustrate the issue:
Thomas, A. Alexandria S. Perl Programmer Las Vegas NV. Williams, Jr., Michael A. C Programmer New York N.Y. Silver, Susan Java Programmer San Jose CA Altips, Alvin C. Tcl Programmer Chicago IL.
The challenge is to remove the A. and Jr., from the first two records, leaving the remaining fields, in all lines with periods, intact.
The first suggestion, while brilliant, did not account for lines similiar to #3 above and omitted them (lines without any periods).
Your wisedom and guidance is humbly accepted.
