Thanks Iohannes & Tim,
I would be interested in how to achieve this with [text]? I've been playing with text for the first time today, I thought that the 'fields' were only whitespace separated. if I had... [text define longsymbols] [symbol aaaa_bbbb ( | [text set longsymbols] ...how would I then retrieve the 'aaaa' and 'bbbb' separately? (Otherwise I will just use l2s/list2symbol) Thanks!
