Hi Mark -
The characters skipped were unintentional, I sliced up the report based on
starting/ending column numbers that I somewhat guessed and massaged by
merely comparing the output of the openPOs list to the actual report. There
might even been some room to massage those boundaries further to
to have a list like this to get another set of eyes reviewing the
code, very very helpful.
Thanks again Steve for your response, I really appreciate it.
I'll report back once I get the changes implemented.

list if I have any other issues that I need help with.
Lastly - this list is great...I think I'm going to learn a lot here.
Thanks.

Hello -
I'm a novice programmer, not even amateur level and I need some help with

take this elsewhere.
Some background.
I cut up a text based report from a reporting
