Or did I learn something new? Or should you have used substr to remove that last char? Jim: I guess you learned something new -- that's good. A string is just a "string" of chars. As such, if you define: $a = "tedd"; then: $a[0] is 't'; $a[1] is 'e' $a[2] is 'd' $a[3] is 'd' The only confusing thing here is the length of the string -- in this case the length of this string is four, but $a[4] has not been defined.
