This is a situation where not relying on the internal string handling capabilities pays off; it's a perfect place for the use of the VBScript.RegExp object, which can look for occurances of a regular expression in a string and return a collection of occurences through it's Execute() method. I'd suggest starting with Wrox Press' "VBScript Programmer's Reference Guide" as source material; you can also look at the extensive documentation on the Windows Script Host on the Microsoft Web Site, or at the 5 part article that George Tasker and I did for VFUG about a year ago (www.vfug.org) Also, embedded in my messages are a fair number of examples of the use of the RegExp object in VFP.
