I don't think that's going to work. Or there's information missing or something. By those rules, the first Z moves to after the a. Then the X no longer follows the a. Is that what's desired? Are rules 1,2, and 3 in order of precendence? Are these the *only* three rules? Rule number 3 needs more fleshing out before anything can be done with it. If the second Z moves after the v in vfgh and the second X moves before the h in vfgh, does that break up a possible decryption of vfgh or does it create a new fg phrase to be decrypted? I really hate to go in this direction, but my guess is that you need more rules. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
