Re: [Gambas-user] help with some simple parsing
You can use Replace$ to search and remove the \t character in your string. I am not so fluent in Gambas, but the good old VB6 does support (null string) as replacement, so I suppose that Gambas also do this. Just put your a_line there and search for any \t, replace with (null string)... Your text will get cleared ... Other point of mention: It will may be better to split also the a_line on the TAB char and thus receive semi-two dimensional array containing your values. Then you can start (re-)creating / displaying your data properly. kind regards Emil P.S.

This is why you miss some letters, Eg. Results, Bicarb. I will do a substitution with Replace$ to have a uniq splitting char. (I used @) eg.: PUBLIC SUB Main() DIM bits AS string[] DIM a_line AS String DIM sReplacedText AS String sReplacedText = Replace$(File.Load(sample_tabbed_text), BR, @) bits = Split(sReplacedText, @, , TRUE) FOR EACH a_line IN bits PRINT a_line NEXT END Saluti, Stefano -- The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!

Hi Richard In one of my hl7 messages in the Free Text segment under an actual pathology result, there is a list of sequential bood test results representing previous results of the same type - , separated by tabs which I need to display properly. as I've re-constructed the result as html, the tabs simply disappear in the result, so I've been looking for a solution, and to start I thought maybe I could split this up into lines and then later put it into a table embedded in the html to keep it aligned.

So I started with this: 1) Split this into lines Dim bits as string[] dim a_line as string bits = split(the_text_in_the_file,BR,, TRUE) for each a_line in bits print a_line next Problem with this is that the \t (I presume tab character) gets in the way, and it dosn't split properly with the results of the bits[] as shown in the picture. Interestingly an occasional letter is lost off the test names. I didn't find any \t-char in your file. But I think it is a table, where the first line hold the column headers and each line starts with a word. So I suggest, that you keep the newline - perhaps the char which you substitute with the br-Tag - as it is. Then compress all spaces to one space and substitute this to \t (i.e. tab-chars). A shell command like the follwoing one will do this: cat sample_text | tr -s ' ' | tr ' ' \t converted_text (Perhaps a gambas-guru can translate the line in a simple Gambas statement) Now you can split your converted_text in an array of lines. Use the first array entry for your the column headers of a listview (but split the line by the \t char) Do the same for all the other lines and you will get a nice table. Of course you can create a html-table as well, if you have your data in the suggested format.
