[REBOL] parse with skip
From: moeller_thorsten::gmx::de at: 21-Aug-2000 13:47
Hi List,
I have a file containing the following kind of lines:
9;"1081230012";9999999;1000103;0;84.00;0;9999999;0.84;1;"6";0;991030;0;73.92
;0.84;9;"L";991030;0;108;123;0;" "
With this line i like to get rid of the leading "1" ( should be yymmdd 00/01/03 )in the
4th field. For this i like to use the following code:
val: 1000000
parse line [skip ";" 2 thru ";" copy text to ";" (if greater? to-integer
text val [remove/part text 1])]
For most lines in the file this works fine, but if the number before the
first semikolon changes to over 9 ( e.g. 21 ) this won't work anymore.
Does anyone know why?
I tried a few other things but they took too long, because the file is about
270.000 lines big.
Thorsten
