Hello John
I don't feel very comfortable with some of the code I listed. I thought
that using @i and @j was a way to avoid warnings (as originally proposed by
Edward W.) when the array argument had bad data, but the same situation
occurs even with my solution. I guess the question is how would one want to
handle bad data - or even if it was likely that no bad data would ever be a
possibility. Also, could there be more than one "*" in the array. These
questions would need to be answered before one could make a final
determination on how to procede. :-(
Thanks for the tip on using unshift.
Chris
