I should have had a better understanding of GREP. Basically I know C pretty well, and am doing a lot with my Mud development. Unfortuantly I'm new to Unix, and SHOULD have looked at what grep was capable of, before writing that. My understanding of GREP was very limited. I'm CC:ing this to the list just to say Sorry - I generally investigate things fairly in depth, and in this case, was wrong. (Well...it DOES work you know... :^p) My apologies. - Brian
