Good point Jim. As you say, it should work fine for fully qualified names. If the intent was to find duplicates as well as missing lines, then I would "add 1 to myArray[i]["A"]" instead of putting true in there. Then in the final repeat loop check for "> 1" in each key to list duplicates. Pete Molly's Revenge <http://www.mollysrevenge.com>
