I always use a state diagram to parse this kind of stuff. It makes it so
much simpler.

As Rob says if you can use another record delimiter you only need to parse
out the pieces between the tabs but I would bet that you don't have control
over the incoming data.

I think the general consensus is to try to get them to send it tab

it's easy to do a

F10=Display Hex

Subject: Parsing out a string
Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx




Afternoon everyone
I am to receive a string that contains a number (9) of fields that are
comma separated.
Each of these fields COULD also contain commas, therefore these fields
will
be incased in double quotes (")
Is there anything in SQL and/or RPGILE that will parse this data into
individual fields or is it a case of building my own logic

I've just re-read this e-mail and it looks familiar
I'll check the archives as well
