:-)

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean here. The translate() function above removes *all* NL and tab characters and its result is compared to the empty string.

Maybe your mailer is hiding some space there? I should have written:


translate($x,'&#xA;&#x9;','&#x20;&#x20;')='&#x20;'

(Showing I did leave one space out ... my apologies for that.)

Cheers,
Wendell
