Subject:      Re: List distinct values in a character variable

What does that mean? Could you please provide a small example with source
and target? Somethin like:

var = "abc defg hijkl";

target:
abc
defg
hijkl

Is that what you mean? If yes, are also other delimiters present,
like , . - ! # ??? In other words: what is a distinct value?
