JJ,
I've been going over this script you sent trying to wrap my head around it.
I haven't been able to get through it completely "plain-english" in my head
yet. Could you briefly elaborate? I love the way the variables are set to
build the find. But I'm not clear on the need for repeat statement and the
overall strategy. All I know is that if I could grok this script - which
does things I find myself needing a LOT - then it could open up a whole new
world.
Could you shed a bit of light for an old dog learning new tricks?
Thanks!
- eric
