Wow, you can swear at someone in a newsgroup. We'd all be very impressed, if
it wasn't quite so stunningly lame. And to think I was actually about to
help you and had written working code for you (assuming I understood your
question correctly, it wasn't hugely clear). For the record, you'd be
surprised at how many people post here expecting someone to do their
homework. The result of which is, of course, that we prefer to answer
questions where people have actually had a stab at the code themselves; it
demonstrates a modicum of effort. Of course, if we're in a good mood and
feeling kind (which is most of the time, in my experience), we'll try and
help out anyway, even if we're not given a huge amount to go on. At any
rate, we will until you decide to start yelling at people, at which stage
most of us generally decide it's not worth the bother and just killfile you.
FWIW, if you apologise in the immediate future (i.e. preferably before
everybody's read the original post), I think people would still try and
answer your question. I suspect you're hovering dangerously close to the
edge of quite a few people's killfiles, though. And the only person who
loses out if everyone ignores you is you, bottom line. Perhaps a damage
limitation exercise is in order?
Just a suggestion,
Stuart.

Perhaps reading Section 5 would be useful?
