Another one to add to my collection. Thanks, Richard! If you don't have to deal with nested itemdelims, here's a function to use for the simple case: function getItem tList,tIndex,tDelim -- returns item # tIndex of tList, given itemdelimiter = tDelim -- could just "get item tIndex of tList" in the calling handler but -- then have to set and restore the itemDelimiter, so this is less hassle -- defaults to tDelim = comma if tDelim = empty then put comma into tDelim set the itemdelimiter to tDelim return item tIndex of tList end getItem So, put getItem(tList,3,"/") into tName is simpler than put the itemDel into oldDelim set the itemDel to "/" put item 3 of tList into tName set the itemDel to oldDelim and you don't risk forgetting to reset the itemDelim, which I often forget to do, especially in repeat loops…. -- Peter Peter M.
