I think I'm going to use the UDF, and as for the vary length field, I totally agree with you. This is a vendor supplied program, and I'm just trying to find a nice easy way to get the data in a .net app.
Thanks, Tim

So, do you think with varying length fields, clob's, etc that these darn
note files will start going the way of the dinosaur? Isn't dealing with
them:
- concatenating
- inserting text in the middle,
- etc
Just getting to be the biggest PITA?
As to the original problem,
as a simple duck and run answer,
Would using the output from a "pivot table" help?

Po#,customer,address
Po123,tim,Spokane
