$line="aaa bbb ccc ddd"
$Record=Split($line," ",-1)
$Field=$record[3]

Or maybe i should put this in suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Salah.

------------------

code:

---

break on

$line="aaa bbb ccc ddd"

$record=split($line," ",-1)

$nthfield=$record[ubound($record)]

?"nthfield=$nthfield"

exit

Thanks,
Salah.

Instead of SPLIT(), try this:

SalahSplit.K2K

code:

---

break on

; your input
$line="aaa   bbb cc           dddd"
$array=split($line)

; create Comma Separated List
$line2=""
for each $thing in $array
	if $thing<>"" $line2=$line2+$thing+"," endif
next

; re-split new line without the last blank entry
$array=split(substr($line2, 1, len($line2)-1), ",")

; display results
"There are " ubound($array)+1 " items:" ?
for $i=0 to ubound($array)
	$i ": '" $array[$i] "'" ?
next

Thanks anyway.
Salah.

Your string "aaa*bbb*cc********dddd" IS "aaa", "bbb", "cc", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "dddd" and SPLIT must treat it this way.

This is good because it allows you to have empty entries in an array. Entries that may be filled later, or may be optional inputs or may be fields from a database...

My script stripped the split. (say that 3 times quickly)
