I suspect that you won't be able to use 'parse - or at least as simplified as the example you gave. I have a gripe with 'parse also, which I would REALLY like to see changed in an upcoming release. When I use the '| operator (for OR), 'parse will search the entire string for the first pattern th

Peter, I assume you do not have access to a UNIX? If you did, the first thing I would do is to run a "strings" on the database file. That may give you more than the limited 'charset below, but it would be trivially easy. - Michael Jelinek -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mail
