Hi Mark Hey, JC must have a util for this - his favourite naming style! Sorry, couldn't resist. /gustav >>> markamatte at hotmail.com 04-04-2006 18:10:28 >>> Hello All, I have just recieved a new db to link to...and I want to create a dictionary for all of the wonderful acronym names used. I have a list of field names in each table. The format is the same across the board: BB_CREG_TU or TTT_PROG_GYU_FRWTG (format= some letters...an undersore...more letters...and so on) The can be 1 - 4 underscores in each name. I would like to take this list of field names and strip out each part and create a new list. For the example above I would now have 7 records...starting with BB and ending with FRWTG. The underscore is always the seperator. Any suggestions/direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mark A. Matte
