Nick,
You forget to give points! I think Sergey's solution was the most beautiful one, so give him 3 points please.
Personally, I immediately thought of the ALINES() function. Something like (not tested):
lc = ""hallo, hoe is het ermee?"
lnWords = alines( laWord, lc, .t., " " )
lcLeftChars = ""
for ln = 1 to lnWords
lcLeftChars = lcLeftChars + left( laWord[ ln ] )
next
? ">" + lcLeftChars + "<"
But Sergey's solution is even better.
Groet,
