So... you need to find the first occurrence of four numeric digits and then the single digit that follows immediately behind that after a 'dot'? Two separate fields or one? And is that always the case or if the four don't have a dot right there after them do you keep looking deeper in the string? Gi...

Exactly. Whatever it takes to make it work, fully automated, force that back on the source as a requirement once you figure it out. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. :wink:

Not supported here. However, are your attachments images, i.e. something you would be able to include 'inline' with your post? Regardless, you would need to host the files somewhere and there are many free sites to choose from. Then you could use the image or [img] tags to link in any images (gif/jp...

And I believe that a much simpler/elegant solution can be implemented using the Server version of the Sequential File stage. :wink: Suppress row truncation warnings.
