Re: Regex copy and paste help

HtorneDK:

I'd suggest something like this:

Keep two sets of fields: the temporary set and the full set you're building.

• Read a line and parse it into the temporary fields (unpack, substr)
• If the first column exists (e.g. A00004) then it looks like you're on a new item, so:
• If you have anything in the "full" set:
• process it
• write the processed data
• Copy the temporary data into your "full" set
• Otherwise
• Append the existing temporary fields into your full set
• then go back and process the next line

Finally, when you're done, if you have anything in your full set, process it.
