Just getting a small clue wouldbe make this question > wealthy. thank you You've completely ignored the question that was asked, which was "what do you want to do?", and simply provided a more detailed answer to the question "how do you want to do it?". Example of "what do you want to do?": "I want to add the values stored in 'a' and 'b', and put the result in 'c'. Example of a defective answer to "how do you want to do it?": "I want to write c *= a+b;" Do you see how hard it is to explain what's wrong with the second answer, without first knowing the answer to the first question? Please explain what you want to do. If your answer contains, anywhere within it, the words "regex", "library", "henry", "spencer", "RE", or "try.c", then you're still answering the wrong question - please rewrite it. -- James Kuyper
