GetValueByTag()

Parameters

string tag - string value to search for in the input record. Next character after the tag will be the beginning of the input field if found.

string delimiter (optional) - a string indicating the end of the field.

You can use the field delimiter syntax for multiple delimiters. The field delimiter option will be used if this parameter is not set.

vbTab - horizontal tab

vbCr - carriage return

vbLf - line feed

or

"<Tab>" - horizontal tab

"<CR>" - carriage return

"<LF>" - line feed

"<FF>" - form feed

integer start (optional) - starting position for the search.

Set this parameter to a value greater than 0 to start the search from a certain position (the first position is 1).

Set this parameter to 0 to continue search from the the previous successful search position.

The default is 1 - the beginning of the line.

Return value

string - the field's value

Empty if the field is not found or has an empty value.
