Tony,

If you re-define your sequences as I think you must,
like so:

test1 = {"Tony Steward"} -- main sequence contains only one sequence
test2 = {"Tony Steward","lockmaster
67 at aol.com<mailto:lockmaster67 at aol.com>",22432345}   -- main sequence
contains more than one sequence

then all you have to do is use "length()" to test them:



sequence test1, test2
integer L

test1 = {"Tony Steward"} -- main sequence has only one element
test2 = {"Tony Steward","lockmaster
67 at aol.com<mailto:lockmaster67 at aol.com>",22432345}   -- main sequence has
more than one element


-- tests:
L = length(test1)
if L = 1 then
   puts(1, "sequence is single\n")
elsif L > 1 then
   puts(1, "sequence is multiple\n")
end if

L = length(test2)
if L = 1 then
   puts(1, "sequence is single\n")
elsif L > 1 then
   puts(1, "sequence is multiple\n")
end if
