You make an excellent point(s) and I really appreciate your lengthy discussion of this with me. I think I have learned a very important lesson lesson (doesn't always DWIM inside of '').
How would I code it? I don't think for 1 second that I could do a better job than those who faced this problem. But, I would love to try. I would have to see how it is done now. I know in coding, sometimes you paint yourself in a corner and for architecture reasons these things happen as artifacts of the design, and it cannot be changed.
Thanks soooo much for discussing this with me.
Regards,
JamesNC

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
