Re: Array headaches

Hi, I took the pleasure of writing up a little function that should do the trick. When I ran it, it printed this: ----------- Top Level == Top Level - Sub1 == Top Level - Sub2 Top Level 2 == Top Level 2 - Sub1 == Top Level 2 - Sub2 == Top Level 2 - Sub2 - SubSub1 == Top Level 2 - Sub2 - SubSub1 - subsubsub1 Top Level 3 == Top Level 3 - Sub1 -------------------- Script is attached.
