So, with input as this:

| Code: |
| INREC IFTHEN=(WHEN=GROUP,BEGIN=(7,1,CH,NE,C'W'),PUSH=(9:7,1)), IFTHEN=(WHEN=(7,1,CH,NE,C'W'),BUILD=(1:1,9,10:C'.1')), IFTHEN=(WHEN=(7,1,CH,EQ,C'W'),BUILD=(1:1,9,10:C'.2')) SORT FIELDS=(9,3,CH,A) OUTFIL BUILD=(1,7) |
So, with input as this:
| Code: |
| AAAAA AAAAA 8 AAAAA 7 AAAAA 6 AAAAA W AAAAA 0 AAAAA 1 |
I get output as this:
| Code: |
| AAAAA AAAAA 0 AAAAA 1 AAAAA 6 AAAAA W AAAAA 7 AAAAA 8 |
