          Using your sample code, I wrote this simple test:

procedure TfrmMain.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
Data : string;
begin
Data := '0.0000.1370. 000';
memo.lines.add( Copy (Data, 1, 3)); 
memo.lines.add( Copy (Data, 6, 8));
memo.lines.add( Copy (Data, 11, 13));
end;

Here's the result I got -

0.0
0.1370. 
0. 000

That's pretty much what you're looking for, isn't it?

Subject: [delphi-en] Using the copy function to separate data

ALL,

I have a telnet connection to a server computer that constant broadcast data to 
me each second. The data that I receive has spaces and tabs in the middle of 
the string. Once I receive the data I remove all spaces and tabs to get a 
single stream of data. After I receive the stream I attempt to parse the data 
into segments using the copy function.

My problem is this when I look at the stream the data looks fine but when I use 
the copy funtion it does not work properly on the data.

Here is an example :

Single stream from a telnet connection

0.0000.1370. 000

Data := ' 0.0000.1370. 000'

Copy (Data, 1, 3) yield value 0.0 which is fine.
Copy (Data, 6, 8) yields value 0.0000.0 which is wrong.
Copy (Data, 11, 13) yields value 0.0000.0000. 0 which is wrong.

I'm not sure why I am not receiving the correct data.

r/Curtis..
