I have given that some though. I just haven't worked out in my head how to deal with overlaps. However, I do agree that the way I'm doing it now is really really overblown and silly.

One thing I noticed though, was the output of your code: 

TTT = 0 3
TTT = 6 9
TTT = 9 12
DDD = 3 6
TD = 2 4
TTTTTT = 6 12

[download]
It shows the TTT bit matching to 6-9 and 9-12. Ideally, I would need that to match 6-9, 7-10, 8-11, and 9-12. No biggie though. Let me play around with it a bit, and see how it works.

Thanks
Matt
