I see now! Worked like a charm. While we're on the topic of deletion/exclusion of string elements when brought in to an array, how do I kill '\n' line breaks from the string (or even just exclude them at array input time)?
ie. 'hello how are you /n I am fine' becomes (hello,how,are,you,I,am,fine) when in the array.
