davorg,

Don't forget the there is an element at the end, that is not bound by a colon (ergo 9 elements).

uucp:NP:6445::::::

When you use only 8 elements, you miss the last ":". I know I also tried 8.

Oh, I didn't forget. The example in your original post was foo:asDflkj123./d:6445::::: which has (counts) seven colons - hence eight fields :)

davorg,

Thanks for pointing that out. I grabbed an entry from the one that I used 0..8. It must be the head cold talking.
