Dan;

I think that would only work with files, Dan. I'm trying to import from a string without saving it to a file. I've worked out a routine, but I thought maybe it could be shorter, faster and simpler.

Of course, writing each string to a file and then importing would be short and sweet, but probably needlessly slow...

Thanks anyway....
