DELIMITED DATA FILES TO SEQUENCE

I've known about Euphoria for a long time now, but it is untill now i've tried to learn it. Looks quite powerful, and what I like most is the SEQUENCEs. As I make quite a few utilities for workrelated tasks, I was thinking of going over to Euphoria instead of using O'Basic (which is really easy, yet quite powerful.) in hope that Euphoria can help me out better than the restrictions in O'Basic's arrays. Euphoria is a new way of thinking, and I haven't quite gotten used to it yet! :D What I'm looking for is an include file that can read a data file (text format - where data is placed in a record/field structure separated by a special delim. character, like TAB, ';' etc.) and build a SEQUENCE from that file. An example of the content of a file, where [TAB] is the char(9); HEADING ONE [TAB] HEADING TWO [TAB] HEADING THREE DATA ONE [TAB] DATA TWO [TAB] DATA THREE DATA ONE [TAB] DATA TWO [TAB] DATA THREE the result would be; { {"HEADING ONE", "HEADING TWO", "HEADING THREE"}, -- Record 1 {"DATA ONE", "DATA TWO", "DATA THREE"}, -- Record 2 {"DATA ONE", "DATA TWO", "DATA THREE"} -- Record 3 } This will be used to view this data for example in Win32Lib's List View control. (I know how to do that! :D) I'd probably make it work if really I put my head into it, but right now im trying to absorb as much as possible about the language, and I'm spending most of my time getting to know Win32Lib. What I would like to know is if any of you know if a code snippet of this sort already exists? Kenneth 'ZNorQ'
