Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew the correct syntax for extracting the
'last multi-value' from a field using a 10 line dictionary items

eg record (3 attributes with 4 multi-values on each line)

001:john]dave]simon]chris
002:blue]red]yellow]green
003:30]25]42]50

i would want to extract just "chris" from attribute 1. (being the last
MV)

also, i would be curious how to extract a specific other multi value
as well (eg "dave" (MV 2)

at present i am doing this using a subroutine CALL within the DICT,
which is very slow (as you would expect), so i am keen to get a better
solution in place.

I am using jBASE 3.4.x on Windows 2003

Many thanks in advance.

Ian
