QUERY OUTPUT BELOW

Output would be created as follows:

===S==T==A==R==T===
The strings length is 62 and contains 34|Janet|Baldwin|2|1991年03月21日|110|Sales|3|USA|61637.81d|00AABB

...................... continuing to end of query

For a string delimited with "|", you could parse it like this:

a$ = "one|two|three|four|five"
ix = 1
while (word$(a,ドルix,"|") <> "")
print word$(a,ドルix,"|")
ix = ix + 1
wend

Updated with the WORD$ function makes it much cleaner.
