Hey! Thanks Stut, Tijnema. I'll test out the ideas you guys contributed to me.. after I finish a working copy will ask you guys to give it a look over ;) @Stut: The list is not in alphabetical order.. and 2, I have no idea of the size of the file (for the regex suggestion) but I am guessing it can be quite big with just 5k members. I like the FGETs idea you and Tijnema gave me... I think I'll go with that. Am still working on a few other bits and pieces.. Cheers!
