Hi Kaspar,

Like my reply to Robert, I originally sent this reply directly to you rather
than the group.  It's repeated here in case the first one got lost in your
"bit bucket." and to
mention an adaptation for the problem at hand :-)

> Was that a trick question ? ;)

No,  it was my stupidity late at night.  But it elicited a fast and succinct
correction from Daz and a more efficient (hence more correct, IMHO) approach
from Robert.

So aside from having my problem solved,  I got a little more Ruby tutoring.
Not bad for a simple NG post,  eh?

Best wishes,
Richard
