Finding In Reverse

[Robert Sneidar]

I feel so stupid. That works great! In fact I think I can write an AT 
() and RAT() function that mimicks Foxpro's using that. Of course I  
must now correct you to some degree, because properly I should first  
save the old delimiter, and afterwards restore it. That would be 4  
lines. Still, your solution is elegant and truely "binary". :-)
