Thanks for your help! I still don't understand why the script would work on some computers but not others...for some people the find feature does work as it is, and it should work cause I see nothing wrong with the script anywhere (not saying I would recognize a problem anyways).

I think I will end up trying to rewrite that entire section of code since what you did is just outside what I understand right now. (I haven't worked with $rc or shift yet). One thing I do find really interesting is if (!&find($f)) { . I understand what it's trying to say but I don't have the foggiest idea how you get from $dbm{$f} to if (!&find($f)) { .

I will have a look into that too, lol. Thanks for your help, atleast it's working now :)
