alawoona 0 Posted January 26, 2004 Struggling with coding this problem in an elegant manner : I have a large text file from which I want to extract certain strings. Each string will start immediately after the characters "Clip=" and then end at the character before the next ' (single quote character). There will be a number of these strings within the text file, don't know how many, the string length is variable. Big thank you if you can help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
