Re: Interesting problem

Ya, that's my problem, how do I get lines before? While moving through the while loop I can only access the item I am currently on, is there some way I can access the previous element. when ereg matches on that current element. Thanks Ken N http://cleveland.lug.net/~rocket/ The answer is simple if you grant that ironies are like submarines; dangerous only when submerged.
