>>Good challenge for us!
>>here is a programatic solution for you

>>use ster excl
>>index on isblank(eclrhse) tag eclrhse &&this puts the trues between the falses and the 'blanks'
>>brow && take a look and see for yourself

>>copy to false.dbf while eclrhse =.F. && copy off the falses leaving us at the first true
>>copy to true.dbf while eclrhse =.T. && copy off the true leaving us at the first blank
>>copy to blank.dbf while eclrhse =.F. && copy off the blanks
