Hi Shi Mu,
Ok, but let's go back to your original question now, just to make sure
we've learned something. You asked earlier:

Do you know now why the original code didn't do what you want? Can you
explain why? I know it's seems like a silly question, but we are trying
to avoid a cargo-cult attitude here. What knowledge did you learn?
Again, I'm really not getting any sense whatsoever of knowing why you had
difficulty here. Personally, if I run into difficulty with a problem,
even if I hack out something that "works", I'm not satisified until I
understand the reasons why I got stuck. I've been bitten too many times
by being satisifed by the "right" answer for the wrong reasons. *grin*
