Hey, did you not notice the columns were numbered? So all you had to do to
determine the length of the string was subtract column numbers?
Hey, did you not read what I wrote about this being hand-punched cards? By the time I got to the end of the string it was too late to go back and update the 27H count. I had to count these strings on paper, in the notebook where I had written the code before I got access to the card puncher. (A glorified typewriter)
