Multiple Function Returns?

Malice

I was trying to devise a Function that would splice a string that contained Comma-Separated values.

the problem being that the Return function only returns one variable, when I really need at least two.

Here's my prog so far.

Type items
Field it_name$
Field it_ref
Field it_component_ref
End Type

Type components
Field comp_ref
Field comp_b_ref
Field comp_c_ref
Field comp_item_ref
End Type

file=OpenFile("it_dat.txt")

	
Repeat



	create_items.items=New items
	temp_name$=ReadLine$(file)

	result$=Store_And_Remove$(temp_name$)
	create_items\it_name$=result$

Until Eof(file)


For list_items.items = Each items
	temp_ref=list_items\it_component_ref
	temp_name$=list_items\it_name$
		Print temp_ref+" : "+temp_name$
Next














Function Store_And_Remove$(main$)

comma=Instr(main$,Chr$(44),1)    ;find end of name
RV$=Left$(main$,(comma-1)) ;store name
main$=Right$(main$,((Len(main$)-(comma)))) ; remove name from dataline
WHAT_TO_DO_WITH_THIS$=main$;store remaining text

Return RV$

End Function

I need to return the value of
WHAT_TO_DO_WITH_THIS$ as well as RV$

Anyone got any tips?
