I.e. <solar>1,2,3,4,5</solar> <solar>6,7,8,9,0</solar> when it is doubled up I want to end up with just 1,2,3,4,5, so I can split it out into an array. I'll give the abaove a bash (no pun intended) when I get home tonight... Cheers, Lee -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
