I re-read BrowserUk's post, and I still don't see that line. And yes, I copied it exactly.

The x2 error you see is because you didn't add the \r's to the DATA section as I wrote in the introduction line. They get lost when posting code on PM.

Adding that line to his code is unfair, as that will skip half of the data. Fair would be to use \122, but that doesn't change much:
