You could try using a replace or rereplace to change multiple spaces into something you can use as a list qualifier in a more direct way. I'm a fan of the bell chr(7) because you can't type it. :-)
You could use replace() and then trim the results to get what you want. This is probably the best solution. You could also do a rereplace() to remove all those extra spaces, but if there are leading or trailing spaces, it would remove them. --BenD Chris Martin wrote: > I'm trying to parse a .txt file using the built-in java reader and have come > across an issue where I need to qualify a list based on multiple spaces on a > line.
