> here is just another approach. I'll have a look at that as well. Why doesn't the compiler have the ability to read a word? All of this extra code needed because I have to read words one character at a time! It would be the single most useful addition. I don't understand why compilers have no problems reading multi-digit numbers in one hit, but can't do the same with words.
