in thread Revised: Storable data retrieval

Calm down, man... I was trying to help you get an answer to your question. Double posted questions (whether exact copies, or simple restatements) show up often enough that a lot of us simply skip over them the second time around.... This is especially tempting to do if there isn't an easy way jump back to the old question for comparison.

In otherwords, when I read your question the second time around, the overwhelming temptation was to move on as soon as I determined it was a.) a continuation of a previous question, and b.) lacking a link to said question.

The other option was for me to track down the link you should have provided and politely point out its absence. This helps keep others from skipping the node simply because following the thread is too much work.

That said... perhaps the reason CGI was such a focus in your initial node was because you hadn't narrowed your code down to a base case. If you want an answer about X, winnow your code down to a tiny snippet that illistrates the X issue. You'll get far more focused answers that way, and it keeps us from wasting our time offering you advice you don't seem to want.

Finally, complaning in your own thread does nothing but divert time and energy away from helping you find the answer you want. You have now successfully used up the time I would have spent seeking an answer for you.

Time spent framing good questions is time very well spent.

    Blake -- Point well made.I'll try to be more calmer. Of course this still leads back to the code attached above. I seem to me the author my being using freeze for the update portion of his code. Since he seem to be copy the disk file into memory, then make the changes followed by another write. That begin said. The question (based on the above code), how do we add and retrieve using storable? Thanks, David
