Que? You can't know $FOO of $BAR until you take $BAR in and see what sort of $FOO it has. You can't know the length of a string until you read it in and count the characters. Is that what you're asking? Shroedinger's Cat (there is no "string" in C, BTW) -- Surely there is a polite way to say FOAD. -- Shmuel Metz "Fornicate Off And Decease". -- Rik Steenwinkel
