It's true: my solution did not match the exact specification given by the OP's code, but 1) I was responding to Farshid Lashkari's slip and 2) It does what the OP was ultimately asking for--it stacks the results vertically. My brain was not asleep, I was just not interested in the other, largely irrelevant part of the OP's question. If he wants a new line at the beginning and end, I'm sure he can figure out how to do it. I don't need to jump through those hoops for him.
