It may not be efficient, but the easiest solution (without using tricks from a particular languages) is to increment a value within a while loop which checks it against the target value. More efficient may be to pick an arbitrary value, and check for greater than or less than, modifying the range based off your results (much like a recursive search). However, having done a tour with EA, I would have to say that you're probably better off not making it. Though they're getting better. =) Garrick M.
