But I > do not know > how to let make escape that correctly. hmm, that is interesting, i have seen situations in other projects where using \escape sequences didn't work, 1 of them actually worked around it by using the same symbol ($$ instead of \$) i dont know how they did it but that is the only time that i have ever seen it and never again... may as well give it a shot > Btw, why didn't you try the code before complaining? Like i'm going to download the code, go home, test it out and come back up here just to complain...yea right ;) -Dustin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
