[Anand Padmanabhan]

Hello Ed,

I believe you are looking at the last word in the line sequence. Please
have a look at the following piece of code and this would do the job for
you. Even if the line has just one string, you would get that as output.

_____________________________________
/*rexx*/
str4 = " one two three four "
str3 = " one two three "

str = str4
say word(str, (words(str)) )

str = str3
say word(str, (words(str)) )
_____________________________________

When executed, the output would look like:
four
three

Thanks,
Anand
