Rainer Ok; it was just a suggestion. I won't debate "easy" as that is a completely subjective term that no one will agree on :) but I am curious though as to what you think would be a "cleaner" solution that a regexp; which are designed to be powerful and flexible? Perhaps if you have a better option you could suggest it to the developers. Derek
