Simple stuff from the simple people today: string manipulation. I have a string variable which has various chunks delimited by double tildes ~~. In order to do what I need to do, I need to extract the section of the string after the last double-tilde, so that "fred~~bloggs" returns "bloggs" "fred" returns "fred" "fred~~bloggs~aardvark" returns "aardvark" I can see that rfind is the thing I need to use, but as usual (gah! newbie!) I'm stuck on the syntax. Help! ---------------------- Andy Gates, Learning and Research Technology Andy.Gates@bristol.ac.uk - ICQ#74362415
