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 ?
