It could also be buggy in the extising form - what about a script whose name contains Xtra, or Extra? I don't think there's a better way though. Rewrite it as if( string(instance) begins "<Xtra" ) instead of using contains. It should be slightly faster too as it doesn't have to scan the entire string, but not much, certainly nowhere near as fast as a predicate. If you're worried about the performance of this, I would ask why you need to know that the object is an Xtra in the first place, and why don't you already know anyway? There may be a better way to do what you want without the test. - Robert [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
