lemming thanks, heres some q&a's first off -> im sure i can run perl with -c or -w (or both) because tripod automatically adds the location of perl to the top, so unless i can do it a different way its useless, altho the strict idea is a good idea second -> is there a way i can use split (or some form/ect.) on an array besides doing so with each line third -> im gonna post an update of the code maybe like in an hour, if anyone has some suggestions feel free to post, im suprised at all the people that are replying =-) btw im a nuB so be easy with the terms and stuff (i think if you go to the new nodes section, and scroll to users youll see me as the top one, although that was 9 hours ago) =-P
