Anyone who uses (has used) strTok by Kat

I have the luxury of a mainframe to analyze files I build or revise 
in Euphoria for correctness. I tried "strTok" to parse a file, find two
matching tokens received from an input screen....and make a change to
one "field" in the parsed input, all the time "deparsing" and writing
all records to a new output file. This is followed by uploading both
files to the mainframe to compare large files with a utility.

Parse/deparse works so beautifully  ..  except where multiple commas
(representing "missing" values) occur in the input. Here the 
parse/deparse does not "hold" the consecutive commas when "deparsed"
and they are lost upon output.

Has anyone dealt with this easily ?? 

Now that my sequence comparison education has been upgraded...I will
re-try Derek's sub-routine for the same file exercise.
