I've been considering whether I should re-think my position that the underlying code is inaccessible. The truth is, the block of data that I have in memory is actually a Rails layout. I was reluctant to mention the Rails aspects in this forum. So, I don't know if I could ever figure out what would need to be done; but, your idea is definitely a good one. Thanks for the input. ... doug -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
