Hi John,
It should work if you just say "combine pData by column" and nothing
more. At least it does here - just tested it. It restructures the pData
array back into its original list format, but with items moved to their
new positions.

Hi Phil,
I am having trouble with the proper way
to write the combine pData by column.
I can split the columns and reverse them
like you show but how do you write the
code to combine them? It looks to me
from the dictionary the column needs
to be a number but what line do I need
to put them on?

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.

Richard Gaskin wrote a function to get a column
from a list.
function GetCol pData, pCol --Richard Gaskin
set the itemdel to tab
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?
