Unfortunately, I have not found the problem yet. I use the Geany IDE which has syntax highlighting, but nothing wrong is seen. None of the suggestions helped. The lines before this one set variables. The lines further up "appear" fine. I will keep looking. If I ever figure it out, I will share with all of you. As for the code being one line, my style of coding is very different from others. I try to keep similar or related tasks on one line. Programming like that is called trolling. A programmer that uses trolling is called a troll. A troll can also refer to such a line of code itself. My scripts contain a lot of trolls. It is easier for me to read trolls than "typical" coding styles. (Yes, I am a weird troll (^u^)) Mahalo, DevynCJohnson@Gmail.com
