Thanks for the script...I must admit, I never thought of that. I would extend that a bit (by hand) and do the style table that I've been using...something like this: .--------------------------------------------------------------------------. |Year | Hurricane | Deaths | Location | |==========================================================================| |1780 | Great Hurricane of 1780 | 27,500+ | Antilles | |------+------------------------------+-----------------+------------------| |1998 | Hurricane Mitch | 18,974 - 21,000 | Honduras | |------+------------------------------+-----------------+------------------| |1900 | Galveston Hurricane | 8,000 - 12,000 | Cuba, Texas | |------+------------------------------+-----------------+------------------| |1974 | Hurricane Fifi | 8,000 - 10,000 | Honduras, Belize | |------+------------------------------+-----------------+------------------| |1930 | Dominican Republic Hurricane | 2,000 - 8,000 | Antilles, D.R. | |------+------------------------------+-----------------+------------------| |1963 | Hurricane Flora | 7,186 - 8,000 | Haiti, Cuba | `------+------------------------------+-----------------+------------------' Note the corners: periods on top, and ` ' on the bottom. IMHO, this looks better. But that IS just my opinion. :-) And just on a style note, I would also condense it to something like this (avoiding redundancy): .---------------------------------------------------------------. | Hurricane | Deaths | Location | |===============================================================| | Great Hurricane of 1780 | 27,500+ | Antilles | |--------------------------+-----------------+------------------| | Mitch, 1998 | 18,974 - 21,000 | Honduras | |--------------------------+-----------------+------------------| | Galveston, 1900 | 8,000 - 12,000 | Cuba, Texas | |--------------------------+-----------------+------------------| | Fifi, 1974 | 8,000 - 10,000 | Honduras, Belize | |--------------------------+-----------------+------------------| | Dominican Republic, 1930 | 2,000 - 8,000 | Antilles, D.R. | |--------------------------+-----------------+------------------| | Flora, 1963 | 7,186 - 8,000 | Haiti, Cuba | `--------------------------+-----------------+------------------' Again, just my opinion.
