Jim,

Thanks for the script snippet. It didn't quite work as shown, but it did get me to think about the problem more carefully. I came up with this:

put "-Jan-,-Feb-,-Mar-,-Apr-,-May-,-Jun-,-Jul-,-Aug-,-Sep-,-Oct-,- Nov-,-Dec-" into mthStrings

Bryan,

Is it possible that the original text string is not using hyphens consistently? Could there perhaps be en-dash and/or em-dash characters there, which look just like hyphens in monospaced fonts. If the original text was created in MS Word, for example, it often auto-substitutes en- or em-dashes for hyphens.

Just a thought.
