You should have seen my draft - it looked a bit > more complicated! The string delimiter syntax is excellent. I love how easy it makes expressing file paths -- it's as simple as ?"C:\Long Path\Etc.\Alex's Document.txt" As a filename can never contain a double quote, this makes the double quote the perfect 'wrapper'. You don't have to worry about backslashes or single quotes accidentally escaping. The string delimiter is also handy in a more general sense -- it can make your scripts independent of a user's chosen escape character. I use it profusely in the scripts that I upload and in post examples to ensure that nothing is ever accidentally escaped. It's definitely something worth having around! -- Regards, Alex Peters Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
