Yes, here is another unit. Smile

This unit is like the PARSE command except it is for an unknown ammount of parse items.

Useage: %t = @parse([string],[Field Sep (Optional)])

Returns a string with each item on a seperate line.

Sounds interesting! Is it a true record parser like VDS PARSE? I mean, does it acknowledge quoted fields so
you can have field contents holding the field sep character?

"field1";"field2:strg2";"field3;strg3"

No. Sad It do not see the "s. It will still see the fieldsep within the "s and parse that as well. I'll look into that and see if I can get that to work.

Ok, @parse() has been updated. It is now a true parser.

Code:

%s = @chr(34)test;test@chr(34);test;test
%t = @parse(%s,Wink
# This will return
#
# test;test
# test
# test

Great. Took it for a quick spin...

Did you consider that when parsing flat-file db-records, there will often be empty fields? Wink

"field1";"";"field3"
or
;;"field1";;"field3"

Yeah. I did try it - actually that's why I asked coz when parsing records you're gonna run into this type of
record sooner or later.

I do lots of flat-file db parsing in VDS so I'm acquainted with it. I think I may have a similar routine lying
around somewhere. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Right. I found it...

Code:

%%fieldsep = ";"
option fieldsep,%%fieldsep

%%string = @CHR(34)@CHR(34);@CHR(34)1@CHR(34);2;@CHR(34)3;A@CHR(34);@CHR(34)4@CHR(34);;

list create,1

repeat
 parse "%%item",%%string
 %%itemlen = @len(%%item)
 list add,1,%%item
 
REM Remove quote if string starts with it
 if @equal(@substr(%%string,1),@CHR(34))
   %%string = @strdel(%%string,1,)
 end
 
REM Remove already extracted field content
 %%string = @strdel(%%string,1,%%itemlen)
 
REM Remove quote if current field was enclosed
 if @equal(@substr(%%string,1),@CHR(34))
   %%string = @strdel(%%string,1,)
 end

REM Now remove fieldsep
 if @equal(@substr(%%string,1),%%fieldsep)
   %%string = @strdel(%%string,1,)
 end
until @null(%%string)

info @text(1)
list close,1
