Anonymous Unregistered	Hi there, This can be accomplished by using the left function in a PPTalk object. Quote: define(&data,string,@(2,1,41)) %Define string define(&x,integer, pos('V', &data)) %Find position of V %Print the string up to the V character, if found if(&x>1) show(left(&data,&x)) endif() Hope this helps, Rina
