Thanks muchly. I'm working on one to change (4,5,6,11,12,13,14,19,20,21) to "4-6,11-4,19-21"

    I assume you meant "4-6,11-14,19-21"? If so, that's what this one does, isn't it? What am I missing?

      Your assumption is wrong. Have you never seen ranges like "read pages 121-3"?

        It would be an improvement if you were to state that that is how it works in the root node. It is not obvious, and your oblique hint is a little far down the thread!

        Ah, I see what you mean now :-)
