Anthony,

can you share if you have any examples. how can I keep track of that index 
as I am not finding any example to get count of request.vars

vars: <Storage {'opt1': ['3', '3'], 'opt2': ['12 ', '18 '], 'opt3': ['1', 
'9'], 'txt1': ['1', '15']}>
in this case I have four vars coming from browser which I should insert to 
database request.vars.opt1, request.vars.opt2, request.vars.opt3 and 
request.vars.txt1

when I iterate loop for first time I should insert 3,12,1,1 as one record 
and 2nd time it should insert 3,18,9,15 and so on based on data entry form

In the above case there are 2 records but sometimes it can be more than 2 
like -> vars: <Storage {'opt1': ['3', '3','6'], 'opt2': ['12 ', '18 
','21'], 'opt3': ['1', '9','12'], 'txt1': ['1', '15','27']}>
