    Always funny to see what you categorize as a "short" article Jeff 😀

    It's a great one though and I'm sure I'll refer to it soon in the future when I or someone else is dealing with flat files.

    BWAAAA-HAAA!!!! I guess after some of the 26 page marathon articles I've written, my measuring stick is all messed up. Thanks for the feedback, Koen. 🙂

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
