Everytime you use grep, you are iterating through the list. Since you do that inside of loop, your algorithm is O(N*M). In contrast, JediWizard iterates once through a loop so his algorithm is linear. His approach is also conceptually simpler which results in cleaner code. -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";
