   why you need an array of strings? probably something of untold...   
   if the need is only summarize the third field just use a large type a just   
   totalize in it   
   to isolate the third field you can use the pos function (unsure about it in   
   fp) searching for a ','   
   unfortunately the pos function doesnt have a start position ( like basic) so   
   you can simply delete the part of string to the first ',' then delete to the   
   second ',' when you find the third ',' then copy the chars from 1 to   
   position-1 and you have the third field, other consideration about lead or   
   trail blanks.   
      
   another kind of solution is scan the string char by char use the s[i] syntax   
   (tp) from 1 to the lentgh of string accumulate chars in a temp string then   
   put the temp string in one of array element when you reach a ',' then   
   increment an index and proceede (if you want extract all the fields).   
      
   long live to pascal - every kind of pascal
