Re: RPGLE pgm to parse a string

Result should be 'word3'

I have an another idea, i am dropping plans to reverse it,
It leads to two reversal.

Another thing to note is my string is not constant length and may have any
no of '_'


I am trying to do a pass in which it populates an array(i am trying to keep
it max length)
with possition of '_' as finds ussing %checkr

when i reaches end of string i will get an array (arr) of location of '_'
and count of '_'( Say 'n')

 for string i should get string after arr(n-2)+1  and length of
arr(n-3)-arr(n-2)-1
( i have to recheck indexes)

will it work?
any other idea?
