tilly,
My funny bone is often broke. In spoken conversation I have learned to pick up on many social cues when to not take something literally but it is an effort and I commonly get it wrong. Written communication is so much worse. Thanks for the pointer.

Cheers - L~R

No worries, LR. ;) The key issue that I was pround of - on the efficiency stakes - was that it checked for all possible combinations of keywords - even those which did not exist on the same line ever. And that it went through the entire file again for every keyword-pair, i.e. processed the entire file keyword-factorial times. Now that's what I call thorough. The sand/and thing is a genuine, unintended bug though. :) All the best, andy. (BTW, 'NB see parent node' was intended as a nod/wink - perhaps kinda unclear though).	[reply]
