sorry for the late post been busy. i want the delimiter to be a colon because the file that im reading in has fields in it that are separated by a colon .When i cut a field from the input file that has a space in it like this eg ("CFSF090898:this 93490394:2323Chi") it only reads the "this" part of the string but does not read the rest of the string. The "93490394" part of the string is ommitted its like it got chopped off and fallen into the abyss why?
forgive me if it doesnt make sense im bad at explaining stuff
