Hi Steve,
The reason why wordpad won't startup is because Mapinfo doesn't know where
it is. So if you put the entire path in your Run Program statement it will
find it. So it would be (in my case)
Run Program "C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"
If you want to know the lenght of the words unless they contain a space, you
can first select all words without a space.
Select Name from tablename where Name Not Like "% %" into tmp
And then
Select Name from tmp where Len(Name) > 20 into finalresult
Good Luck

Hi Again,
Does anyone know why if I put the following line in my code nothing happens,
but if I change Wordpad to Notepad is works perfectly!?!?
If OpenTxt Then
Run Program "Wordpad " + SelFile
Also is there any way to count the number of characters in a field, but only
count consecutive characters where there is no space? I am using;
Len(Name) >20
But this counts the total number of characters including spaces, I would
like to stop counting once a space is encountered. I am trying to make sure
that no name is greater than 20 characters, unless it is a double barrel
word.
TIA
Steve
