Hi, Joachim

The names you use for the variables are totally independent of the field
names in your database. Choose whatever you like.

the items array is used for the contents of mv_searchspec. If you use a
coordinated search it's size is the number of stacked mv_searchfields. It
has nothing to do with your products.asc.

Perl code again, without the range search part:

[set search values]
[perl arg=values interpolate=1]
	my($msg)='[value mv_searchspec]';
	my(@items)=split (/\0/, $msg);
	$Safe{'values'}{'s_category'} = $items[0];
	$Safe{'values'}{'s_subcategory'} = $items[1];
	return '';
[/perl]
[/set]

How this works:

At first I put the contents of mv_searchspec into a scalar named msg. msg
then contains all your searchstrings seperated by the delimiter \0.

I then split the scalar msg into the array "items". There is one item for
each mv_searchspec field in your search definition. No more, no less.

To access the contents of items later on I create minivend variables with
the names s_category and s_subcategory. These names are free for you to
choose. Name them "Autor" and "Verlag" if you like. They are accessable on
minivend pages with [value s_category] etc.
