\ demo sample table
\ This table reformats a comma-quote-delimited data file into
\ a fixed-length data file.
\ The following single equation reads four variable-length
\ comma-quote-delimited fields and pads them out to fixed length. The
\ padded length of the fields are 15, 15, 30 and 14.
"\^*(15)\v","\^*(15)\v","\^*(30)\v","\^*(14)\v"\0d\0a=\^L1\^L2\^L3\^R4\0d\0a
\ The literal translation of the equation reads:
\ a quote mark + up to 15 printable characters terminated by
\ a quote-comma-quote + up to 15 printable characters terminated
\ by a quote-comma-quote + up to 30 printable characters
\ terminated by a quote-comma-quote + up to 14 printable
\ characters terminated by a quote-carriage return-line feed = the 1st
\ variable-length field padded and left-aligned + the 2nd variable-length
\ field padded and left-aligned + the 3rd variable-length field padded and
\ left-aligned + the 4th variable-length field padded and right-aligned +
\ a carriage return line feed.
