Thank you very much for your solutions!

@ Nikola:
If I try your version it prints my datasets into 3 columns for some reason...

@ Dick:
"/TEST_REGULAR" returns an empty string (not an array as needed)

I assume that it should be possible to reduce the number of columns in Nikolas version in some way.....isn't it?

Thanks everyone!
