It's really not that hard once you start doing such things :) I actually have functionality in my spreadsheets for my bankruptcy filings that I haven't been able to implement in livecode yet. (In fairness, even though they're not scripted, I passed the line into programming on it). Although it's a bit easier in the openoffice family then excel, primarily from regexp support, but you have something like my words are wonderful 14 =mid(a1,b1,1) yielding my words are wonderful 14 w and then you sort by column 3. Or, you add another column with the calculated position, and have a seocnd table that diplays it. Or, . . . But then, I used it to create 90 page court filings :) -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
