Is there a Map Basic function that replicates the functionality of the Xbase AT() function? An example of proposed usage would be creating a road name field from a database that contain addresses. The AT() function would be used to determine where the space is between the "house number" and "road name" so it would be possible to separate the address from the road name. In Xbase the code would look like: Start_No = AT(Space(1),NewRoad)+1 Replace NewRoad with SUBSTR(NEWROAD,Start_No,30) If there isn't an "AT()" type function, how would one create a variable indicating the position of a space in a character string?
