%scutf

Event_Handler macro - Extract substring by field, fields defined by delimiter character.

Format: scutf(string, delimiter, field-no)

• delimiter is a single char, possibly escaped. Optionally followed by + sign to indicate that more than one delimiter character is allowed between fields.
• field-no is a integer number, counting starts from zero!
• Example of escaped delimiters : Tab= \t ‘,’ = \,
• Useful for parsing External_Data_Input.

Examples:

%scutf(%edi,;,0) extract the first field, number 0; fields separated by semicolon (Fields start at zero!)

%scutf(%edi, ,1) extract the second field, number 1; fields separated by a space

%scutf(%edi, +,3) extract field number 3; fields separated by any number of spaces

%scutf(%edi,_,3) extract field number 3; fields separated by underscore

%scutf(%edi,\t,3) extract field number 3; fields separated by TAB

%scutf(%edi,\,,3) extract field number 3; fields separated by commas
