Re: Reading a file into a "sequence"

Along these same lines of thought.... I notice when I input several "fields" from a screen to use as search arguments for values in the input file (a quoted, comma delimted file), I actually am having to "prepend" and "append" every field from the screen with double quotes in order for "If equal(seq1, seq2)" to find equality. In most languages I've used (PL/I and SAS among many others), the value between the double quotes in the input is viewed as "the value", not the quotes themselves as well. I'm hoping I'm missing something again....that would make having to add quotes around all fields to make them "match" the file content values addressed as "recd[1], recd[2], recd[3] etc" unnecessary ?
