Standard protocol on this list is to show us what you've tried first, then ask for help with the parts you're stuck on. You show a problem description and some sample data, but no code. Show some code, and we can critique and assist with it. What, if anything, have you tried so far? You've broken the larger problem into some steps. That's good. Now break those steps down a bit more until you have manageable chunks of the problem that can be expressed as Perl statements in a script. You've already almost broken things down to the point that you could look up your own answers by browsing through _Perl Cookbook_. So, again. What, if anything, have you tried so far? -- Chris Devers ãi6^ŵʽ
