I tried one of the new language enhancements in VFP 7 and found it quite nice. Those who find themselves doing a lot of 'AT()'s and 'ATC()'S and 'RAT()s should be able to save a lot of coding time. For example,

Code: 
thisEMB = STREXTRACT(gline,"|","|",3)

pulls out what's between the 3rd and 4th pipe symbols in gline as thisEMB. Quick and simple! I needed it for a pipe delimited file I was parsing and my program worked first try out of the box! Dave Dardinger
 
Cool I had written my own parser funtion some years ago. nice to see they added the ability in 7. -Pete
