So instead of %k I would use the string measurement$, instead of %l I would use units$ and instead of %m I would use name$. But I cannot get this to work with the getn command. Is it possible to do this or must I use %k, %l, %z, %a, etc and then reassign them to the strings (measurement$, name$ etc) I want to use? I would like to be able to do something like below getn (Measurement) %%(measurement$) (units) %%(units$) (Event name) %%(event$) (input strings); I know I can use getstring command but that is only for one string at a time. thanks Andrew [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
