If any strings have duplicates you will lose them too! d: difference/only ["^/" "<P>" "Tea for two, please." "<P>" "But you're alone now" "" "Tea for two, please." ][""] == ["^/" "<P>" "Tea for two." "But you're alone now"] ... See the second "<P>" is lost!! and looks likes it just tea for one now... Cheers, Allen K (*Slaps*) Jeff for the time lost when using his tip ;-) OK Jeff I know the chances of duplicates across paragraphs is slim, but there is still a chance and it is a hard thing to find when your code goes wrong.. > > That doesn't address your question about parse, but I'm running out > of time.. :) > > -jeff
