That's exactly what I was thinking looking at the problem. No offence meant to the OP, but this sounds like a trivial problem for perl. We must be missing something. Man, does C++ produce ugly, obtuse code (no offence meant to C++ code posters; thanks), and this from a perl programmer. OT, but isn't it nice to know they have tornados in VA too[*]? :-) [*] Sorry d-u; inside joke. No offence ... -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
