Question cut -f (or awk alternative)

I'm trying the following as i wish to get the last field in a report containing several fields, each line can have more fields than the previous, so I tried

rvwords=`echo $rvstatus |wc -w`
rvstat=`echo $rvstatus |cut -f $rvwords`

but it prints the whole variable contents of $rvstatus rather than just the seventh field, there are no delimeters (other than spaces / tabs) in the line, which would read along the lines of

0 1111 my file 102.00 1003.00 2.99
1 2222 my own file 111.00 112.98 200.10
...

Thanks in anticipation
