That's very kind. I have progressed enough so that I can see the construct I used, ${blankv:-${seqno+}:p/4/0/r} seems to be working. (There are other problems, but I don't think caused by this). I'm still a bit curious about variable assignment in general, though I guess with .37 we'll be in a new world anyway. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
