The error (IMO) is not checking for a valid fileid after failing to parse a delimited string. That still leaves the problem of pathological cases where the fileid starts and ends with the same character, but would at least be consistent with the parsing of other keywords. > do execute *, you could just as well pass the contents of the file > list to STATE: PIPE xedit|state|... I did consider that briefly, since it would be a lot more efficient, but figured I'd wind up duplicating way more of EXECUTE XEDIT than it was worth. ¬R There's really no such thing as a Loser's Club. --Spot http://users.bestweb.net/~notr/emopvere.html Sorry! 1019
