Hi

As you know, to import a TXT file when you use NAS, it isn't posible to use a Dataport. My TXT file is separated by TAB character. How can I read this character ??. I will use STRPOS to know where is it

Thanks

    TAB is ASCII char 9. Try this: 
      CharVar := 9;
  i := STRPOS(Text,CharVar);

    Where CharVar is Variable of type Char, Text is your text line, i is integer...

    Hi Kine
    Thanks for your reply, but I have a problem

    I use the same code and variables, but when I compile the object, I receive an error: (is a translation)

    "The type conversion is not posible because one of them is an incorrect type (is a translation)
    text:=char

    "
    If I use Format, always return 0
    I tried to erase all spaces in the string, and aparently it works

    Thanks

    Small correction:
      CharVar := 9;
  i := STRPOS(Text,FORMAT(CharVar));

    or also:
    variable: txcTab Text:1 
    txcTab := 'X';
txcTab[1] := 9;
i := STRPOS(Text,txcTab);

    Same for searching a CR/LF (to find 1 line):
    variable: txcCRLF Text:2 
    txcCRLF := 'XX';
txcCRLF[1] := 10;
txcCRLF[2] := 13;
i := STRPOS(Text,txcCRLF);
