in thread This runs WAY too slow

Because that's the recommendation in PBP and that's the line I use in all my forms and that's a line that will disappear once I get the output of 'use CGI' massaged into a form that actually gives good results into my dependent arrays - which is tomorrow's project.

But 'Alnum' or 'AHex' sounds like a good idea for the short term.

    Please read the introduction of PBP again. If you follow recommendations from PBP just because PBP says so, you're doing it wrong.

      No, that's not the only reason. BTW 'IsDigit' gets it down to going through 10.
