Still one needless comparison and null op where you could have bailed and done nothing. May I also be so bold as to suggest that I find this version pretty unclear - I'm quite sure the for() approach I took breaks the task down in a way it's instantly obvious what it's doing. And that's what I always strive for - in this lucky case, it's more efficient to boot. -- Regards, Aristotle
