Hi there Don,

I 'think' i know what you are saying now, but one question i
have is...how do you know which 'accents' to replace, for example
in this line:

  'c:\mydir\my'file.exe'

I thought about using the first char (ie the ' here) as delimiter,
which would allow different delims for different lines too, but
i want the UI to accept the non-delimiter form too like this:

  c:\mydir\my'file.exe

where there is only one path entered by the user.

Here's a strange but valid possibility for the line:

  "c:\my dir\my file.exe" -'a'-'b'-'c'

The delimiter form im using right now (just for now) is this:

  ;"c:\my dir\my file.exe" -'a'-'b'-'c';

where there is a semi before and after the entire line, so that the
user can enter two paths:
  ;mypath1 -args;;mypath2 -args;


Also thought about

  Þmypath1Þmypath2Þ  --see how this shows up on EuForum :)

but dont want to force the user to have to use ALT-Numb codes.



Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
