Please apply this patch to your question and try for a recompile. You seem to have a lot of missing symbols and unsatisfied dependencies. `1,5c1,5 <Hey Monks...just wondering how to sort text files in order <to output them into textboxes. There are 2 textboxes that <need 2 different(but related) chunks of data from the <file...but when I do it the data appears randomly... <many thanks!! Gono!! ---- >I am trying to do this with that because..... >I have this perl code..... >I want it to produce this output but instead it produces this output +(or errors) >What am I doing wrong? Any pointers appreciated. >Gono but not forgotten.` [download] cheers tachyon	[reply] [d/l]

As we have absolutely no idea what you have done, let alone done wrong, I would suggest deleting line 234 and seeing what happens. (In other words, we can't help if we don't know what you've tried.) ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age. Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety. All opinions are purely mine and all code is untested, unless otherwise specified.	[reply]

I'm afraid you have to be a little bit more specific: how do you decide what textbox the thing should go in? What is a thing to handle: a line, a string? pelagic ------------------------------------- I can resist anything but temptation.	[reply]
