Thanks Dave :-) ( but it is still a surprise vis-a-vis substr() ) People coming from Perl are just going to have to deal with the fact that (almost) *everything* in Ruby is an object -- including ranges -- and that this approach will often appear contorted to their thinking. In fact, such apparent 'contortion' actually seems to prove that Ruby has enabled amazing feats of programming 'acrobatics', as demonstrated with String#slice :-) Guy N.
