You have an array of arrays and you want to find the ones that are named by some naming mechanism. Riiiight. Arrays don't have named elements - hashes do. Arrays have numbered elements. That's the problem, brother. Without seeing the code that builds @files, I can't tell you how to fix it and my fix for the snippet you posted will make no sense without showing you code to build it. :-) ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age. Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.	[reply]
