Newbie question

Hi list ~
much to my surprise I have a hard time finding a way to test for the
existence of a word (so that I won't load a code file again)...
WORD? looked really promising until I tried it...
The code files is not under my control, so I cannot just set a certain
word to a certain value or such.
Thanks for any help,
Kai

You mean something like:
value? 'a-word
?

I'm having difficulties emailing an ntbackup log.
Here is what I receive.
File: //Documents and Settings/Inver/Local Settings/Application
Data/Microsoft/Windows NT/NTBackup/data/backup02.log
=FF=FEB
Below is what I should be receiving.
Backup Status

Any help greatly appreciated.

Of course the email stripped the high ascii characters changing them to
=FF=FEB

Hi Riccay,
I would check what it is that you are sending
before you send it. Try insert a PROBE just before
your REFORM, eg:
send you-email probe reform [...
That should narrow it down a bit.
But I was unable to reproduce the problem. Maybe something
weird is happening with the email server?
What happens if you change the body text to something simpler ?
Anton.

Thanks for the suggestions Anton.
When I run probe it shows this:

If open a backup log and save it the problem still occurs but if I save the
text to a new file it works fine.
Non backup log text files work fine.
I'm going to try it on a different PC since you couldn't recreate the
problem.
Email client is Outlook 2003 running on Win XP sp2.

Hmm.... Perhaps it's returning Unicode?

Hi Riccay,
RS> When I run probe it shows this:
RS> 2^-0^-0^-6^- ^-a^-t^- ^-1^-2^-:^-2^-1^- ^-P^-M^-"^-...
Izzy is right, it's Unicode. A cheap way to clean it up (assuming you
know there aren't any true Unicode chars in there) is:
trim/with data "^-"
Just strips all the nulls.
