Default Parsing a String - Call to Ron Rosenfeld

How about if the city is entered through an input box as the string variable
"City"? Each user will be located in a different city, and each time a list
is being parsed, it will only contain records for that city.

Thanks again, Ron.


You're welcome. Glad to help.

By the way, if the city is a variable, City, and not a selection from a
list
of known cities, could this be handled?


You will need to determine a rule that unambiguously differentiates
the City from the rest of the string.

Unless you can do that, you will need a list.

In the examples you've provided in the past, plus knowing that some
cities consist of more than one word, there seems to be too much
variability to devise a rule.
