Or make sure the lookup-table is sorted alphabetically, and use an optimized search algorithm. If you want to split the string "button1, button2, button3" into {"button1", "button2", "button3"}, you could use Kat's Strtok (http://www.tiggrbox.info/program/Euphoria.html). -- Tommy Carlier tommy online: http://users.pandora.be/tommycarlier
