>I would like to create a macro that uses the Wildfile.vdm but would read a file of strings, and compare each string to match the input file records and then extract that record to another file. It would also be nice if the string search was positional.
Please note that supplied EXTRACT.VDM macro in {MISC, More macro, Extract} uses a file of strings to perform an extraction. It is designed to be run from within Wildfile to extract from multiple files.
Therefore, EXTRACT.VDM comes very close to your needs. It might need to be modified to only search certain columns as you requested.
