Hi Bruce,

The 'COPY' word is always the third token in your example lines.

I can analyze such texts with PDC Prolog.

Example:


Goal: fronttoken("00012 FSR0300B COPY X Y",T1,R1),
fronttoken(R1,T2,R2),fronttoken(R2,T3,R3),fronttoken(R3,T4,R4).

Result:
T1=00012, R1= FSR0300B COPY X Y, T2=FSR0300B, R2= COPY X Y, T3=COPY, R3= X
Y,
T4=X, R4= Y
