I can't spend any more time on this. Yes, it would be simple to match 'line' against a regular expression (like "^[0-9]*:[0-9]*:[0-9]* .*") and only process the lines that match. (Just print out non-matching lines unprocessed.) The other parts just need a little book-keeping. FWIW, your previous snippet /did/ have negative numbers in it. :-P Peace, Gabriel _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
