Hi,
I need a help on searching a string.
The i/p File is : -
| Code: |
----+----1----+----2----+----3----+----4----+----5----+----6
123bn 1234nh1234 534568nvkxc8945ynm,k
2345nilm,bf94utksdnhf
gh237i%hawd
khughygygf%asjbamdbh%amsjdhajkd%989898
|
Whenever % encounters it need to do some process.
I am using the below code for getting the character %,
| Code: |
do k = 1 to readin.0
if pos("%",readin.k) > 0 |
But i am always able to find the first occurance of the % character in any line and the rest are getting bypassed.
Can anyone please let me know to get the next occurance of the character % in the same line. |

| Whenever you find the percent sign, you know the position and can break up the variable into smaller parts. And use the POS again on the remainder. |

| you could also consider using the START parameter of the POS command which is exactly what you need. |
