Hi all

I will receive user input like

Offset='1:20,30:10,40:15,60:70'

I tried the below piece of code

Code:

/*****REXX****/
say 'Enter the offset and length value like:(1:20,30:15,40:15)'
Pull offst
offset1=strip(offst)
cnt1=find(offset1,',')
if cnt1=0 then
do
parse value offset1 with o1 ':' l1
end
if cnt1=1 then
do
pos1=pos(',',offset1)
pos2=pos1-1
str1=substr(offset1,1,pos2)
str2=substr(offset1,pos1 +1)
parse value str1 with o1 ':' l1
parse value str2 with o2 ':' l2
end
.
.
.




I will try trace option to fix the code , but is there any alternate function to
extract the value? Please share. I need to get 1:20 as o1=1 and l1=20 Dynamically from user input.

Code:

/* Rexx */
data  = "01:20,30:15,40:15"
do  while data \= ""
    parse var data tokn "," data
    parse var tokn head ":" tail
    say tokn head tail
end
