in reply to Re^2: substr in nested foreach loop
in thread substr in nested foreach loop

Yeah but no but yeah.

If you stick a warning before each substr operation giving the length of the string and which characters it's trying to find, I bet you'll trace the problem pretty quickly.

    Jasper: Yeah, I got it. *sheepish grin* End of line char at the end of file. Thanks. :)

    Oh, and a couple of places where the file formatting was irregualr because of overwriting. *feels dumb*

    On the positive side, I've learnt more in the time it took me to read this thread and attempt to implement all of the suggestions (I did) than I did while trying to debug all by myself...So I owe all the Monks who were kind enough to reply a huge thanks.
