Yes, this is a common solution to this problem. I've often seen, and have occasionally used, the control-A character used as a delimiter. It works fine and control-A is unlikely to occur in text. The challenge then becomes finding how to enter control-A into a script with your favorite text editor. -Dale --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
