Great Franklin, Your solution works fine.


thank's ..... but I don t known if the record is splitted into 4 lines ..
It could be splitted like this
X;1111;222
222
2;333
3333;4444


X;111;22222;3333;444
4444

and I need
X;1111;2222222;3333333;4444
X;111;22222;3333;4444444

I only know that if the record is Good it has NF defined and next record will start with X


thanks you very much
