Hi Monks,

I have these 2 lines in separate sections in a report: 

"QR No N/A 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0"
"QR 1 1 1 0 157M 23:09:15.190448 00:42:28.205336  00:40:04.086054"

I find the strings using regex, then split them by \/+\ into 2 arrays. Then the arrays are joined after dropping the first 4 values in the second string.

My problem is the 157M value. I need to find the best way to detect and then multiply the 157 by 1000000 and then have that value in the array.

Should I do that in the string? Or after the split to array? (how would I loop the array, change the value?)

Thank you. (NOTE: I'm a mainframe sysprog,HL Assembler is my first language.)
