Use the first character in a string to select a case

[ssmith490D]

I would like to use the first character of an ascii data line to determine what case the line enters. The possibilities are either a "#" or a "$". The lines look like  "#001123,061023,45.6,...,...,...," and "$HOL32,061023,134500,45.8, 345,...,...,...," Thanks in advance for any help given.

As far as I understood, you need to select a case depending on the first charater of the string.

Try doing something as shown in the example.
