The problem comes not from getting an ordinal item from a list, but from getting the last item explicitly. And in that case, "the last item" or "item -1" is shorthand for "the last item that isn't empty". set the itemdelimiter to "/" item -1 of "http://www.domain.com/folder/file"; -- is "file" item -1 of "http://www.domain.com/folder"; -- is "folder" item -1 of "http://www.domain.com/folder/"; -- is also "folder" the last example makes less sense to me. It should return empty. -- -Mark Wieder [email protected] _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
