Is there is simple way in QUIZ to find the position of the la st e mbedded space in a character string?

[Rohde Dirk (Van)]

If you have the "reverse" function available in that version of PowerHouse,
the following would do it:

define t_INPUT char*20 = "ABC D  E"
define t_LAST_SPACE_POS integer*2 = &
    size(truncate(t_INPUT)) - index(reverse(truncate(t_INPUT)), " ") + 1

For example, if I have the following string where [sp] indicates a space

"ABC[sp]D[sp][sp]E"

I would like a value of 7 to be returned.  I'm using version 8.19.C5 of Quiz
on the HP3000.
