Ah, but Glenn's original problem statement was "keep first 5 chars, then append a Z to every fourth char thereafter, and keep the leftovers too". Don't worry, because your solution *works* even though the actual implementation didn't match the original requirements. There isn't supposed to be an added Z until character position 10 -jim _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
