I       turned on clear/case sensitive passwords temporarily to make sure I was reading       the file right. Again, not the best practice in anyway. I think removing it       is a good idea, personally.               g0> Would the STDIO or REST API work for you as an alternative or is what        g0> you are doing designed to work directly with data files only?        g0>              I'm going to try to capture the STDIO and see if I can get that to work. If       there was a REST API, then that would be even better. Thanks for all your       support!              Andy, aka The Leprechaun              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
