One way to do that is to filter the resultant text from Printkeys(). Lets say you have an array with 3 keys, test1,test2,test3. You only want the values from test3.
put printkeys(myArray) into theArrayText filter theArrayText with "*test3: *" Voila! Now you only have values from the test3 key. Bob On May 15, 2012, at 5:34 AM, Peter M.
