Yes still here. </BEGIN_RANT> Stats are that you are about twice a likely to kill yourself in a hang glider as in a car. However it is about 5 times safer than riding a motor bike. Twice as safe as horse riding..... Life is a terminal disease you know </END_RANT>

Anyway I have added an email link to my home node at the bottom so if you don't want to post details here (which would be considered usual) then send it to me there. It is generally considered proper netiquette to continue this discussion in this forum rather than in private but as everyone knows we Aussies have no manners :-) Some of the advantages of doing things in a open forum include allowing others to learn from the discussion, getting second, third,.... opinions on the quality of the code and advice presented. Allowing Monks to show off their skills to their peers is also a big part of how this site works.

To post files here you use insert the <code> and </code> tags into your text. You just put the file between these tags where the 'and' is and then we can hit a button and download the lot.

When munging a text file from one format to another the key thing is to know what it looks like now (the source) and what you want it to look like (the output). If you supply that along with the explanation already posted then it should only take a few minutes to complete the program, says he laughing in the face of the God of unforseen consequences!
