Hi Dick,
I found the char was getting off by 1 each line
because of the EOL returns. Here is a regex
to strip the EOL returns.
put replacetext(theData,"[\0\cM\r\f\n]","") into theData
and then here is some code to put the EOL returns back.
put theData into tString
--put fld id 1022 into tString
put number of chars in tString into tChars
put tChars / 72 into tLineNums
put the round of tLineNums into tLineNums
put 72 into i
repeat for tLineNums times
put return after char i of tString
add 72 to i
end repeat
put tString into fld id 1022
end if
I am sure this code can be improved but it
does work. Of course the variables need to
be renamed to work with the code you have
posted.
Thanks again, it is a great help.
