Hi my requirement is to read an Variable block( VB) file and retrieve records based on the filtration criteria into a VB file.
Note: Also there are few records which are shorter in length.
Input:
dfdskjklsadksadka<M data to be extracted:Ksdafsaffsadfsd
sdfdfsa<Msome data to be retrieved:Kfdsaafafadfafafds
Output:
data to be extracted
some data to be retrieved
Note: The data to be extracted will be in between <M and :K. But the length of the string is not fixed nor the position of delimiters <M and :K is fixed.
I have searched for this in the forum, the available requirement till now posted is only FB file or the length of string to be extracted between delimiters is fixed.
