Steve,

Here is a simple example:

USE test2 && test table with memofield called test

x=ALINES(larray,test2.test)

FOR i = 1 TO x
	? SUBSTR(larray[i],RAT('-',larray[i])+1)
ENDFOR

>I want to pluck the text that is all CAPS from the two sentences that are contained in the memo field and drop the rest of the characters when I print the report. I am building a cursor while I SCAN the table records and at that point in time I can pluck the characters from the memo field.
