You can't post your 737-line script and expect other people to read the whole thing, understand it, and debug it for you. Sorry, but life requires a little bit more effort on your part than that...

I recommend that you isolate the smallest possible chunk of code that is causing the problem. This is a valuable debugging skill. If you are not able to figure out on your own why this bit of code is not working the way you want it to, then you can post this little bit of code along with your sample data, and tell us what you want this code to do, and what it does instead. Then maybe you'll get useful feedback, as well as learning how to be a better programmer.

Oh, and you might want to read How do I post a question effectively?, too.

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
