If pData is a CR-delimited list where each line contains tab-delimited
items, why not use 'split by column'?
-- example: switch positions of columns 2 and 4
split pData by column
put pData[4] into tTemp2
put pData[2] into pData[4]
put tTemp2 into pData[2]
-- then put it back together as a list:
combine pData by column
That should do it.

function GetCol pData, pCol --Richard Gaskin

put empty into tReturnList
repeat for each line tLine in pData
put item pCol of tLine &cr after tReturnList
end repeat
delete last char of tReturnList -- trailing CR
return tReturnList
end GetCol
Does anyone know how to convert this so you can
join the selected columns back together in any
order you want?
