*** OK, I REPLACED IT - NOW WHAT? *** I'm submitting this question to you (wizards) because I don't know the answer. Is there a way to dimension buffers (arrays) in scripts, and selectivly extract portions/fields of data from them? I would like to also be able to do this with buffers in the B and C shells. Example: LONG_THANKS="Thanksinadvanceforallyourhelp" I want to take columns 1-5, add a space, and add columns 22-24. and set them into the buffer SHORT_THANKS. Example: SHORT_THANKS="Thank you" -- ################################################################################ # Ray E.
