Point taken. And a good read too. Thanks! I'll try to be more careful next time. Do you have a suggestion of the simplest way to do this safely?	[reply]

I think I understand what you are saying but the code from mrborisguy works great for me and I understand what it is doing, which for me is very important. I do not like to just cut and past code because in the end someone has to support it. I did try the data dumper but am unable to access the data on the return. ?? Probably since I don't know what I am doing :) maybe a plus one for for mrborisguy ?	[reply]

It'll "work" until someone passes you a hash key containing a single quote, and then all hell breaks loose. Please read the articles in the thread that I reference. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]
