Hi,
I'm trying to determine how to best parse a large text block into a
list of lists using the text item delimiters.
I have a text block where returns delimit each row and vertical bars
delimit the items in the row.
If I break the block on returns I'd have to iterate through the rows
breaking them on the vertical bars. If I first break the block on the
vertical bars then I can't reconstruct the rows using TIDS because
it's no longer a text block.
Does anyone know a way to break such a text block up into a list of
lists without iteration? Is this possible? Other suggestions that are
as fast as TIDS?
Thanks,
Paul
