    Chuck,

    1. You're more than welcome (x8)! :o)
    2. Btrott has a VERY good point! If you're dealing with a big hash you could get slugish in NO time.

    But then again, (I shall say this perl style)
    if (you're running a big hash) { it's probably because you're pulling something off from a text file; if (that's true) { then your text file shouldn't be too big anyway; } else { its going to get slugish from the filesystem access in the first place!; } } else { you should be considering a comercial database product, under which you wouldn't need to do case detection on your hash; }

    Was that reasonably readable? In any case, I'm glad I could be of assistance!

    Cheers again!
