Oops sorry I forgot to add the rest. I stripped it down too much

Ron, the ELSE handles the pipe in any position after the first character

 

This is QTP code if you haven't figured it out already

Each time the item statement is present, a pipe will be removed. Add as many
as you think you need. I usually place 10 to be safe

 

  DEFINE D-Pipe = INDEX(fieldname OF filename, "|")

 

  TEMP T-Length INITIAL 60

  TEMP T-Record CHARACTER * 60

  ITEM T-Record = fieldname OF filename

  ITEM T-Record = T-Record[2:T-Length] IF T-Record[1:1] = '|' &

               ELSE T-Record[1:D-Pipe -1] + " " + T-Record[D-Pipe +
1:T-Length]

                    IF D-Pipe NE 0 &

               ELSE T-Record

  ITEM T-Record = T-Record[2:T-Length] IF T-Record[1:1] = '|' &

               ELSE T-Record[1:D-Pipe -1] + " " + T-Record[D-Pipe +
1:T-Length]

                    IF D-Pipe NE 0 &

               ELSE T-Record

  ITEM T-Record = T-Record[2:T-Length] IF T-Record[1:1] = '|' &

               ELSE T-Record[1:D-Pipe -1] + " " + T-Record[D-Pipe +
1:T-Length]

                    IF D-Pipe NE 0 &

               ELSE T-Record

  ITEM T-Record = T-Record[2:T-Length] IF T-Record[1:1] = '|' &

               ELSE T-Record[1:D-Pipe -1] + " " + T-Record[D-Pipe +
1:T-Length]

                    IF D-Pipe NE 0 &

               ELSE T-Record

Ken,

 

I've just been looking at the code in a bit more detail, won't your code
only check for an occurrence of the "|" in the first character of the item,
or am I reading it wrong.

The character may appear in any of the 60 characters as it's a user text
field

Here is an excerpt from my CSV conversion routine.I haven't compiled it but
it is all here

 

  DEFINE D-Pipe = INDEX(fieldname OF filename, "|")

 

  TEMP T-Record CHARACTER * 60

  ITEM T-Record = fieldname OF filename[2:D-Pipe -1] IF fieldname OF
filename[1:1] = '|' &

               ELSE fieldname OF filename[1:D-Pipe -1] + " " + fieldname OF
filename[D-Pipe +1:60]

                    IF D-Pipe NE 0 &

               ELSE fieldname OF filename

Using Powerhouse on a HP3000

I have three 60 character comment fields that sometimes contain the '|'
character, which causes problems as we use this as a delimiter when
exporting files to an external application. I want to run a search/replace
before the export to replace this character with a space. What's the easiest
way to do this.
