COLUMN$ returns a column of text from a document
Arguments
Method 1
Method 2
...
Let our document$ contain the following information.
"
Item: Manufactured on the basis of:
Model No. 7965 #@# MARIN drawing No. 15617-015
Rudder I #@# MARIN drawing No. 15617-009
Headbox I #@# MARIN drawing No. 15617-009
Bossing I #@# MARIN drawing No. 15617-009
"
Method 1COLUMN$(document$, 5, 25)
returns:"
: Manufactured on the bas
l No. 7965 #@# MARIN draw
er I #@# MARIN drawing No box I #@# MARIN drawing N
ing I #@# MARIN drawing N
"
Which seems pretty impractical. For this document, method 2 turns out to be more useful.
Method 2
COLUMN$(2, document$, "#@#")
returns:"MARIN drawing No. 15617-015
MARIN drawing No. 15617-009 MARIN drawing No. 15617-009"
You can see that lines which do not include the delimiter are ignored.
