******    message to minivend-users from "Humberto T Reyes" <htreyes@earthlink.net>     ******

I believe Ed is right--here is what I use(I found most of this in the mail
list):

-----------------------------------------------------------
[perl arg=values interpolate=1]
                my($msg1)='[scratch search_string]';
                my(@items)=split (/\0/, $msg1);
                $Safe{'values'}{'se_1'} = $items[0];
                $Safe{'values'}{'se_2'} = $items[1];
          $Safe{'values'}{'se_3'} = $items[2];
          $Safe{'values'}{'se_4'} = $items[3];
          $Safe{'values'}{'se_5'} = $items[4];
          $Safe{'values'}{'se_6'} = $items[5];
          $Safe{'values'}{'se_7'} = $items[6];
                return '';
         [/perl]
---------------------------------------------------------

I can then use [value se_1]...as needed.

Hope that helps...
