I have the following code: Parse var onepage 1 oneline 81 rest If I want '1' and '81' to be variables, I can use one of the followings: 1. Interpret 'Parse var onepage' x 'oneline' y 'rest' 2. oneline="SUBSTR"(onepage,x,y-x); rest="SUBSTR"(onepage,y) My questions are: 1. which is more efficient: 1st method or 2nd method? 2. is there a better (more efficient) method?

When you want to use variables as part of a template, enclose the variable in parens and it will be used that way. Thusly: Parse Var onepage (x) oneline (y) rest Hope this helps, /msw ---------- Michael S. Weiss Systems Programmer/Analyst NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies
