thanks for teaching new keyword and its use. My first attempt was very similar to what you suggest, except I used sqlite3 and re from inside Python. But as you see, I can't reliably seprate 'interrogative' question marks from question marks that get displayed due to 'encoding faults'. Any suggestions? Thanks. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
