Hi Bill

Thanks muchly!!!

It's, as usual, so blessed obvious, but only when you point it out,
I'd always missed that point!

I have a fixation with doing everything the %[m,n], %[m,n], ... route
when I use those, and although I've probably got TDFs, both yours and
some of mine, with combinations of %s and %[m,n] in them, I seem to
have word blindness on it! I mean, I know %s strips spaces, but I
dunno, t'brain don't keep up. You should see the convoluted
conditionals I'd messed about with to try and get around this problem.


Whilst I'm at this, here's N Sco 2007... ...unless it gets even
brighter...

Cheers

John
