I'm probably the last person to attempt to give you an answer but I wonder if it's possible to write a REGEXP (Regular Expression) to do what you want. In other words, write some sort of "copy and paste" expression which then theoretically shouldn't have any restrictions on character symbols. Unfortunately I have zero experience with REGEXPs and haven't a clue about how to even write one and actually use it. Good luck. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.
