Hi All,

Sorry for the slow response... I'm an occassional digester!
Anyway, most responses have suggested the simple solution of using another
delimiter (any of : , . - \ etc will do). All very sensible (especially in
this example).
However, when faced with a long, complex string to chop from the end of a
line (with multi-values or not) I find the 'B'reak facility very useful.
B x... allows you to 'break' a line into two after the x... part.
In Hari's example you'd just do
:B STrtn
(B T would do, I just like to use 2 or more characters for certainty, B
FIRST would work too)
This creates a new line 002... So rtn past line 2 thus:
002 ^253HARI/PROG
:
and type DE to delete the line
Easy?
It can also be used to take a large chunk out of the middle of a long
attribute.
Just break before and after the bit you want to remove, delete the resulting
offending line and use CAT (after the first line before the 3rd, now 2nd
line) to join them back together again
Thus:
001 a long piece of text or whatever and the bit to be removed some more
stuff etc, etc
:B ever and rtn
gives:
001 a long piece of text or whatever and
002the bit to be removed some more stuff etc, etc
then
:B vedrtn
gives:
001 a long piece of text or whatever and
002the bit to be removed
003 some more stuff etc, etc
DElete line 2 then
001 a long piece of text or whatever and
:CAT
gives:
001 a long piece of text or whatever and some more stuff etc, etc
Sorry if that's teaching you all to suck eggs, it's really aimed at Hari
(who, I'm guessing is fairly new to the game)?
I found the technique great for chopping large items (oh for a decent GUI
style editor!) and more reliable than having to 'match' long strings of
text, etc to 'C'hange/'R'eplace them.
Notes:
CAT xxx - will stick xxx in between the concatenated lines
'B' on its own will go to the bottom of the item!

Plus - with AE you can:
DV (this will delete the last multi-value on the line, will clear a line
with only one value)
DV/n (delete a specific mv)
Or
CM (can use pattern matching to change/remove text)

Re: [U2] UniVerse:ED:Query
Practically any non-alpha character can be used for a separator in the
change/replace command. I routinely use commas, periods, backslash, forward
slash, bar, even semicolons and single quotes will work. But in the case you
show (FIRST^253HARI/PROG) and you want to get rid of the last value. I would
use the line break (B) and delete the line created. (ex. B T will break the
at the T, press enter to go to the next line which should be ^253HARI/PROG,
then use D to delete the line).

So, c.HARI/PROG.. would result in FIRST^253 If you want to get rid of the field mark too, then you could do c.^253HARI/PROG.. or B T which would break after the T, and then return to get to the new line two and D to delete the entire new line two. Or you could simply do a R FIRST which would replace the entire line with FIRST. This btw is probably the method I'd least prefer for what you're trying to do, but it is an option.
