Yes, you can use the CSV library, it will read a file separated by commas (just change it if you want another delimiter) and return a sequence as you described below. http://www.rapideuphoria.com/contrib.htm Z> posted by: ZNorQ <znorq at holhaug.com> Z> I've known about Euphoria for a long time now, but it is untill now Z> i've tried to learn it.
