You are right ... this is what I meant to suggest but since PHP was
mentioned on the original post, I ended up suggesting a PHP function
or family of functions.  Thinking one thing and typing another.

I stand corrected, thank you all for your observations.

PS:  Mark, if the data is written back to filePro  is what I meant
about the possibility of truncating some of its content.  I know, I
made no distinction so left to interpretation one could easily see why
my observation was without merits.  Thank you for pointing that out as
well.
