thank you for your help i beleave i have fixed this bug and made the
script slightly shorter yet i seem to have run into another bug i
cant find - the program now just eats my ram and doesn't seem to run
correctly now it displays no output and nearly freezes my computer
i'm still looking for the reason but if you have the time i would
appreciate you advise
- thanks
