I have values in a field like the following:

record#1 aaaaaa.ccccccccc.dddddddd.gggggggg
record#2 aaaaaa
record#3 bbbbbbbb.aaaa
record#4 xxxxx.mmmmmmmmmmmm.kk

What I have to do is strip out all of the values on all sides of the '.' in the field so that I end up with the following (based on record#1 in the table above):

value1 = 'aaaaaa'
value2 = 'ccccccccc'
value3 = 'dddddddd'
value4 = 'gggggggg'

So far I only have the below:
*--I know that the number of values is always 1 greater than the number of
*--'.' in the field i.e. xxx.xxx.xxx = 3 values
fieldstack = OCCURS('.',acordfrm.field) + 1
m.line=''
FOR i = 1 TO fieldstack
   IF fieldstack = 1 && only one value this works fine
      m.line = acordfrm.field
   ELSE  && get each value
      IF i = 1  && get the first value this works fine
         m.line = m.line + LEFT(acordfrm.field,AT(".",acordfrm.field)-1)
      ELSE
         *--Here I am stuck how to grab all others 2 - total
      ENDIF
   ENDIF
ENDFOR		
Any ideas appreciated!
