Are you extracting tokens from a CMS, tSO, UNIX, ... command line? From program source? Or from a formatted data file? The delimiter set may not be a singleton. That is handled well by TRT, poorly by such as char *strchr(const char *s, int c); Can you simplify the problem by appending a delimiter? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
