well i can get the list green or red. i dont know if this is what i want either. because i want there is be one column, and the string that gets added needs to be red or green foreach $md5. as it stands right now, i can only make the whole kist green if first match is true, or it makes the whole list red if first statement is false :( hopefully i can figure this out because after this is done, i just got to format the look of the gui as i see fit, then it will be done and i can move on to something else :P

do you think listview would be better? ill try that
