Here are some examples of string tokenizing with C++ using standard C++ classes: http://www.cprogramming.com/faq/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi?answer=1057105750&id=1044780608 > I have not used regex before but think it will only provide me the > pattern matching and not expand the ranges. Personally, I would use regular expressions. The Perl Compatible Regular Expression library is quite excellent: http://www.pcre.org/ And you can use it for all kinds of pattern matching, splitting up strings, etc, just like in Perl. You will still need to expand the ranges in your code logic regardless of how you parse the text. -- Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the rhythm of music a secret is hidden; If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world." -- Jelaleddin Rumi
