Well some noobs might think crude works quite well for them :)_seemed_ ??? r u kidding :-) whereas I'll happily spend an hour writing up and contemplating someone else's problem - I don't have five minutes for people who are expecting to be spoonfed (go learn ASP and get a support contract, thanks ;-).Ya want me to do Jenny's work for her for free or what?! :-)No but it seemed like Jenny did *grin*.
don't suppose you want to hear a joke about 'womens perogative' do you? ;-)The point was that depending on what Jenny wants for output, it could be pretty easy to compare two strings character by character. Or it could be incredibly difficult, if you need diff-like capabilities of recognizing similar lines of text interspersed with radically different lines of text. She obviously didn't like the "use diff" answer, so I gave her the yeast to roll her own. 'Course, she didn't like that either, but that's hardly my fault.
