From: "J. Landman Gay" I spoke too soon. When I tested, I hard-coded a value as the filter string. But when I use a variable, it fails as it did before. The elements of the array all start with a 4-character string followed by an underscore, for example: ER01_some text here My variable contains "ER01": put tVar & "_*" into tFilter filter elements of sArray with tFilter into tNewArray No go. I've tried a few different iterations. However, this works: filter elements of sArray with "ER01_*" into tNewArray This works for me in 9.0.4 and 9.5 DP1 ---------------------------------------------------- on mouseUp local tErr = "ER01" local tArray, tVar, tNewArray put (tErr & "_*") into tVar repeat with i = 1 to 17 if i mod 2 is 1 then put tErr & "_" & i into tArray[i] else put i into tArray[i] end if end repeat breakpoint filter elements of tArray with tVar into tNewArray breakpoint filter elements of tArray with tVar breakpoint end mouseUp ---------------------------------------------------- may be O <> zero?
