Good Morning Tore,

no, this is not "real". The real, specified ones ore the properly separated digit and num words.
But this is my customers spec. His next site might be on somebody who likes it mixed.

But this does not mean one have not to think about worst case. And sometimes there are records similar to this. (In the end "20DP1" is not much different from an 40 char word mix.)

I think I need three ways - I will do a other message with what I think after I have worked down the whole thread.
