Another quasi-struct option is to use associative arrays. With the
split command you can easily turn simple delimited text into array
elements, and the combine command lets you convert them back again.
So you could have something like:
Name<tab>Richard<cr>
City<tab>Los Angeles<cr>
Company<tab>Fourth World<cr>
And put it into an array in one line:
split tUser with return and tab
....and access elements by name:
get tUser["Name"]
