Hi NetWallah.

That is absolutely amazing.

As I am part of the below average person group you will have to help me with one further question.

I managed to capture the output through running the command on Explorer^2's DOS Command line option.

I pasted the output into a text file and all my checks so far on your output after running the code on a 2600 line input file have found the output to be 100% correct.

However, I need to capture the output in a more easy way.

How do I insert this code into a .pl file? Do I need 'if ($line =~ ........' etc.

If you can give me some idea on that it will help me so much for this particular program and many more in the future.

Many, many, many thanks.
