Thanks All,

Q for Ganesh, was your file extended with .csv or is a text handled
better this way.(are comma separated values an array)?

> p string.gsub("\\", "")

i don't quite understand 'p string.gsub'. Better do some reading.

what is the difference between a  "  and a  '  when dealing with text?


Thanks Again
