Hi,

  I know that this is a really dumb question but I need to split a string 
into two parts based on the " " <space character> being the delimiter.

  I have a feeling that I need to use the Index_Non_Blank function but I 
have been unable to get the syntax correct.

  I have tried both Bounded and Unbounded strings.

Can anybody help me ?

See ya

Dean Thompson

    Yes.

    What you want (assuming use clauses for clarity here) is a call to
Index(Foo, To_Set(" ")), which will return the index of the first
space character.  I could put this in a program, but I'd need more
details.
