Gene:

    Agree 1000% with Jim !

    I send 2000+ chars strings to/from my server, and my server .exe builds 
a 'splittable' string back to the browser.

    Your structure is ideal for a 'double' split. The 1st split would bust 
up the string at the 'newline' char creating an array of n-rows of chars

    Then, during the parse of each row,  you can break that row of this main 
array into another 1-d array of three values by 'splitting' at the colon 
char.

    I found this to be a nifty way of parsing my incoming strings.

    Because your main split is at 2-char '\n' set, I guess you'd have to use 
a regex expression to make the split.  Why not just use the 'not' charater 
('~') as the line terminator ?

    btw, because I know *my* incoming data, I use other chars for delimiters 
that would never appear in my incoming string (e.g., ~  ^  ! etc)

    So, if you *know always* the set of chars input, then others can be used 
as delimiters.

Good Luck !
