Try this, Lenny: String Function MakeDelimitedList (string sIn, string sDelimiter, int iBlanksAllowed) var int i, int l, string c, string sOut Let l = StringLength (sIn) Let sOut = SubString (sIn, 1, 1) Let i = 2 While (i <= l) Let c = SubString (sIn, i, 1) if (c != " ") then Let sOut = sOut + c else ; found a blank ; are there two or more blanks in a row? if (SubString (sIn, i+iBlanksAllowed, 1) == " ") then ; found a break, 2 spaces or more let sOut = sOut + sDelimiter ; now find the next non-blank while ((i <= l) && (SubString (sIn, i, 1) == " ")) Let i = i+1 EndWhile Let i = i-1 else ; no the next was not also a blank Let sOut = sOut + " " endif endif ; c was a blank Let i = i+1 EndWhile return (sOut) EndFunction I changed most variable names to be more in conformity w/FS's standards.
