Hi there Don,


I like the sound of your idea, but until we can say go/nogo i think
we have to put your idea into a more concise form...

I'll start and then you finish it ok?

we start with a line of text, not a path (change this line if you like):

  c:\mydir\my file.exe (puts accents, stars, whatever you like in)

Now start the routine:

if AccentsFound then
  --do this

else
  --do this instead

end if


Feel free to use pseudo function names like "AccentsFound", "StarsFound",
etc., but keep the if/then/else statements concise ok? Thanks :)
I'll be able to understand your idea better like this.
Thanks again.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
