new feature request - identify a subfile record terminator - all subsequent characters are ignored

[Joe Boyle]

I think I may have a winner here - at last :-).

 

New feature request - on subfile creation, identify a subfile record length
terminator - all subsequent characters are ignored for the current record.

 

Currently, subfile records are of absolute length, so very difficult to read
variable length records (e.g. csv format ) with ease. 

 

In this scenario, a defined record terminator char can be identified to PH,
and appended to each subfile record on creation e.g. dos example below :

 

`Run some process` >>  "Run_some_process.log"

 

For /f "tokens=*"  %i in  ("Run_some_process.log") echo %i| >>
"Run_some_process.ps"

 

Where the definition for portable subfile 'Run_some_process' contains not a
record/item length, but establishes a "|" char as a record terminator.

 

 

Regards, Joe.
