Hi Erwin,
Exploding on the colon will result in the column name ending up in the
previous array set
ie
arrayname["author"]= "Jane Smith institution";
arrayname["university of Cambridge year"1976";
....
which is unfortunately not what I am looking for ... I need it to split at
the begining of any word ending in a colon, not at the colon point.
Unfortunately the offer doesn't include the ticket. However, I'm sure I
could organise delivery next time I am up your way ;)
