I would argue that it's a mistake to use the position of an element within an array to mean anything other than, well, the position of that element within the array. Array elements should be contiguous.
To answer your actual question though, the only way I know to deal with this is to use an exception handler when referencing array elements. Well the array elements where to be contiguous, sort of. Just the data was not necessarily created in order. But yeah, after writing out the original e-mail it made me realize a structure was more sensible, and took very little effort to use as such. In conclusion, sometimes one has to ask the question in order to realize one is asking the wrong question. But it's good to know there might be a way to do this, just incase one really had to do this for some reason. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
