Re: Parsing out a string

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

Hi Alan

I've used a simple RPGLE parser for this, which copes with a variable
string delimiter (such as "") as well as a variable field delimiter.
I've put the code up at
