Text variable problem

[stevex64]

I haven't changed Rev's delimiter programatically. The values in the lines of
the field are delimited by commas. Just now as I looped through, having
selected Texas to be g_reg, I put this:

put item 17 of regLine & ","  & g_reg & the itemDelimiter

And the output is:

Texas,Texas,

Thank you so much for your very very fast reply!
