Has anyone written, using ToolsIII functions, a function that would replace 
the Funcky 60 one below?  I am also looking for the similar SwapToken 
function.  I'm simply lazy and didn't want to write this if someone else had 
already done so and was willing to share it.

Thanks

=======================================
Usage:   matchtoken(str, delims, matchstr, start, case) -> nOccur

 Params:  string str       - A character string to process.
          string delims    - A character string containing the delimiter
                             characters that separate each token.
          string matchstr  - A character string containing the sequence of
                             characters to match.
          int start        - An integer denoting the starting token to begin
                             matching.
          logical case     - A logical denoting the case sensitivity where
                             FALSE == no sensitivity and TRUE == case
                             sensitive.
 Returns:
    An integer denoting the  ordinal  token  number  that  matches  the
    character string specified by <matchstr> or 0 if no tokens matched.
 Description:
    matchtoken() can be used to compare all  the  tokens  contained  in
    <str> with the  character  string  specified  via  <matchstr>.  The
    ordinal token position of the first token that  matches  <matchstr>
    is returned. It is useful to scan a string for matching tokens that
    will be substituted with a new token using swaptoken().

    If no tokens are found that match the  character  string  specified
    via <matchstr> or the <start> parameter is greater than the  number
    of tokens contained in <str> then 0 is returned.

    If <start>  is  not  specified  or  is  specified  as  DEFAULT  the
    comparisons  begin  with  the  first  token  contained  in   <str>,
    otherwise the  comparisons  begin  with  the  token  specified  via
    <start>.

    When <start> is specified, the true ordinal token position  of  the
    matching token is returned based upon its position from  the  start
    of <str> and not from the  position  defined  by  <start>.  ie:  If
    <start> is specified as 4, and the fifth physical  token  in  <str>
    matches, matchtoken() will return 5 which is the true ordinal token
    position of the match even  though  the  match  occurred  with  the
    second token that was compared.

    If <case> is specified as TRUE, then the comparisons will  be  case
    sensitive. If FALSE, the comparisons will not be case sensitive. If
    <case> is left off the default is TRUE.

    Tokens are words separated by delimiter characters such as  spaces,
    tabs, parenthesis, commas, periods etc.  The  delimiter  characters
    can be specified via the parameter <delims> as  a  null  terminated
    character string.

hi,

hm ... did you look at http://www.funcky.com/Start.Asp
there is a Xbase++ Version

*** snip ***
FUNCky supports Xbase++ using Native XBase++ Classes generated by JazzAge 
CE. The generated classes allows Xbase++ to take full advantage of all the 
COM Objects found in FUNCky using familiar Xbase++ Syntax.
Incorporating FUNCky into your Xbase++ applications is a snap - simply 
include a header file for the component you want to use and call that 
Component's New() Method to create it, its that easy
