As I am new to Ruby, and regular expressions, I implemented Pit's method. Since I have some issues with the data (values, not structure) both your's and Pit's methods have the same data issues (DATE not unique). I think I will be able to use your regular expressions to split up my incoming data and find a way to use the unique feature on the date value. Will post my results, when I get a chance to work on it. Thanks again. Snoopy -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
