Hi,
I need a rexx function with identifying all substrings in the string that start with %HLQS and end with a ',' ' ' '+' or ')'
STR1="AFTER ( %HLQS.A.B.1,%HLQS.A.B.2,%HLQS.A.B.3 +
output would be : %HLQS.A.B.1 %HLQS.A.B.2 %HLQS.A.B.3
STR2=" %HLQS.A.B.4,%HLQS.A.B.5,%HLQS.A.B.6 +
output would be : %HLQS.A.B.4 %HLQS.A.B.5 %HLQS.A.B.6
STR3=" %HLQS.A.B.7,%HLQS.A.B.8,%HLQS.A.B.9.0)
output would be : %HLQS.A.B.7 %HLQS.A.B.8 %HLQS.A.B.9.0
thanks,

Hello,
I suspect your examples are rather incomplete, but if what you show is what you want, why not simply change a quote or a comma or a plus etc to a space?
Kinda late and i may have misunderstood. . . |

You have a block of text which looks like this:
| Code: |
AFTER ( %HLQS.A.B.1,%HLQS.A.B.2,%HLQS.A.B.3 +
%HLQS.A.B.4,%HLQS.A.B.5,%HLQS.A.B.6 +
%HLQS.A.B.7,%HLQS.A.B.8,%HLQS.A.B.9.0)
|
And you want it to look like this:
| Code: |
%HLQS.A.B.1 %HLQS.A.B.2 %HLQS.A.B.3
%HLQS.A.B.4 %HLQS.A.B.5 %HLQS.A.B.6
%HLQS.A.B.7 %HLQS.A.B.8 %HLQS.A.B.9.0
|
This would be an "editor job" as a once-off.
Edit macro? The editing suggestions you've already had if using rexx? Depends what you want it for. |
