Zugg Software :: View topic - Extracting "2nd" value from a record_variable_list

Hello everyone,

I'm about to produce a very delicate script but I'm on stuck on the "record_variable" list manipulation:

WHAT I'VE GOT SO FAR:

Zmud output: Gandalf the Elder is here.
#TR {{@record_variable_list1}} {kill "Field2"}

QUESTION:

Well, how do I actually write a trigger that:

1) fires on the Field1 of the "record_variable_list value" [in this case "Gandalf the Elder"]

2) and returns the second value (Field2) of the "record_variable_list value" [in this case "Gandalf"] [?]

Record_variable_list1 contain:

Field1 | Field2
Gandalf the Elder | Gandalf
A finger of Snakey | Snakey
Old dwarve | Dwarve

A better method would be to use the full name as the key.

#ADDK record_variable_list1 {Gandalf the Elder} {Gandalf}
#ADDK record_variable_list1 {A finger of Snakey} {Snakey}
#ADDK record_variable_list1 {Old dwarve} {Dwarve}
#TR {({@record_variable_list1})} {kill %db( @record_variable_list1, %1)}
