First two examples *not tested*.

   First of all, code <snippet>s corrected above. I was a bit hasty 
trying to do that before running off to work. I also added a second 
option. Second, I was just providing the thought that you were doing an 
unnecessary number of calls to 'Split()'.

   And, what am I missing here? It's absolutely amazing if someone can 
provide an alternative in another language but if it's your VBScript, 
why are there rules?
