Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)
I use this function a lot to process the long results returned by a SQL query. It's not very intuitive to use a counter to do the getvalue(), but it's much easier in program to just get the few values from the top, then remove the top few values, then do the same to the next few values until the list is empty.
So this is a very simple function, but I use it so much that I like to share it.
This function might get into trouble if your list contains "char(13)char(10)" at the end of each line, so I suggest you to substitute all "char(13)char(10)" to just "char(13)" before running this. This should be a common practice in handling a list returned by SQL query.
