Hi,

I have a requirement like this:

I/P: 80 bytes lrecl
rec1:
<td>My name is Ajay</td>.................................

rec2:
zzzzzz<td>hi this is good</td>............................

o/p: 80 bytes lrecl
rec1
My name is Ajay

rec2
hi this is good

I want to copy the text between <td> and </td> tags on an input record to the output file record. The position of <td> and </td> varies from record to record in input file.

Please suggest how we can accomplish this in easytrieve.

Thank you,
Ajay

Hello,

Using arrays of 1-byte entries and "parsing" the data in a loop.

Once <td> is found, the bytes until </td> is found are the data to write in the output. If it is possible to have multiple sets of data in one record, this would also need to be handled.
