Agreed. As you describe, "x" can be anything, yet your sample is full of x's all over the place. Such a loose definition basically makes the format nearly impossible to parse. :P Either come up with a more accurate definition (which still might be very difficult or near impossible to parse if it's complex enough) or give up. :P Or pay somebody with the expertise and experience to do it for you. This sounds rather ambitious for the beginner's list. -- Brandon McCaig <http://www.bamccaig.com/> <bamcc...@gmail.com> V zrna gur orfg jvgu jung V fnl. Vg qbrfa'g nyjnlf fbhaq gung jnl.
