I have a list of names and addresses that I am trying to read into my TeX formletter. So far I havethe following: \openin 9=address.dat \read 9 to\student Dear \student, blah, blah, blah... The problem is that the variable \student contains his last name, first name, and social security number. How do i strip out the first name to print only that? thanks, I will post any interesting answers in one summary. -- John Patrick Lestrade, PhD Department of Physics and Astronomy Mississippi State University, MS 39762 Voice: (601) 325-2806 Fax: (601) 325-8898
