I had typed a "=3d" instead of "=3D" and that was what caused my latest INSTR test to fail. I would like to thank each one of you for all of the help you have been on this!!!! By the way, some of the XML emails have the "=3D" and some don't, but the test works correctly on eitherif I include the "=3D" in my test string. Thanks again.

I'm w/ Bob here...again, just like it doesn't work if the search string doesn't include the hidden encoding when it's there, a search via INSTR() _CAN'T_ work when it doesn't appear if the search string contains the encoding. Go back to the looking at what's really there again; something's not kosher. Specifically, if the e-mail is really QP-encoded, there shouldn't be any way to have it generate different encodings. -- |
