Re: parse for words over 8 characters

[Luis Rodriguez <luisro58@xxxxxxxxx>]

My apologies, my question was written incorrectly (translating circuits
misfiring after a long work day...). I meant:

Are those 90 columns contiguous?

If so, you could read it as a flat file consisting of a (long) single
string and process it with Scan into an array (delimited by space).

Regards,
Luis
