Hi Dave

Thank you - but you seem just to translate all my strings, while i really need the silly thing...:) -i need a hash that will contain the array of values in x position in all the strings, so if the values were just letters I would need the result to look something like

my @string_array=qw/this that and all manner of other/;
.....
%ouput_hash=(
'1'=>("t","t","a","a","m","o","o"),
'2'=>("h","h","n","l","a","f","t"),
......
)
