Hello GreyBear,
The problem is the the items(item1,item2,item3) are coming from a log file of
another app. So I must first must split them from the line that I am cutting
out of the logfile. The log file line states them as item1='value1',
tem2='value2' all on one line there is seven item=value pairs on one line of
extracted text. I can capture the text of the log file. But I can't get it
into an array. I was trying the item/value scenario as though you would read
it from a file. But the only way I can get a loop to roll over is if it is an
array.
