I have written a program to import comma delimited ascii date from another OS and added the keys and records to the EU database system. The data appears to come back out fine, however the keys put in apparently have been modified by a trim function which removes all but one interior blank. Is this so? Or do I have a bug that I can't find? here's where I get the key key = db_record_key(cur_row) here's how I print it puts(html,"\""&key&"\"") here's what comes out " 1 1" it has had blanks trimm'ed out. this is what went into the data base. one blank before the 1st one and 4 blanks betweenthe 2 one's. " 1 1" does anyone have this problem, or know if I did something wrong? I check the incomming key here and it is correct. key = record[1..loc-1] puts(1,key&"\n") <------------ correct here comming in to the data base from the ascii file. and added to the database here a = insertRecord(key,outRecord) ..george
