Just specify multiple Delimiters .

Example DLM = ',./'

Two wrongs are only the beginning.

Success always occurs in private and failure in full view.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Hi I have a txt file which has a dlm of "," for most of the
variables.  I then have 3 date variables on the same file that use
just a , as the dlm.  After these 3 date variables I have 3 payment
variables that also use the , dlm and have a $ to begin the variable.
The file is reading in everything except the 3 date variables
(including the payment variables).

I need to know a way to read in the file using multiple dlms, I can
not use line input since it is a dlm file.

Thanks
