>>My brain must be fried today or something. What is the command to obtain the location of the rightmost character(other than a space) in a field. Example, a 25 character field with city and state separated by a space between city and state. If I grab the last two valid characters in the field, I have the state. I can't use the AT function because some cities are two words.

>Bill,
>Nice solutions so far. Since complexity pays more, try these also :

*Find state
>cState = substr(myField,rat(" ",alltrim(myField))+1)
>cCityOnly = substr(myField,1,rat(" ",alltrim(myField))-1)
>* or more payment
>cCityOnly = stuff(myField,rat(" ",alltrim(myField))),len(myField),"")

I just made you a partner, Cetin! Thanks for the complexity while preserving functionality. UT members are really good!
