What's wrong with just outputting all the files matching the search, including duplicates? I can't think of any reason where one would want to not include all files matching the search. I would be curious to hear a use case there. Since I'm on this kick anyway, I'm going to keep pushing against further customizations where there really isn't a need. jamie. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
