Thanks to you and all the other folks on the forum who have helped out. I am now able to do my required processing task, and hopefully have learned enought that I will be able to implement a few more "nice to have" tasks soon. When I run in to more stumbling (learning) blocks along the way, I will know where to look for EXCELLENT help. Thanks again to you and all the forum. Snoopy -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
