I think my earlier post didn't go through, so here is a repost. cow.each do |c| a=c.split pig.each do |p| b=p.split b.each do |b| if a[4] >= b[4] break end # at this point, I'll have a new cow.each record but I don't # new pig.each record, another word, I would like to cow loop # to continue without advancing the pig loop. Can it be done? # end end end Thanks. Kanfe
