Thanks for the reply,
I did that but it comes in as one line of code. It's very difficult to follow. For the most part, the ';' is the end of the line except during the if-then logic. I'm trying to work through it. I guess if it was indented structure of a normal script it would be easier to work though.

This is my problem:
I have very small simple text 2k to 6k files that I need to extract some information out of and I'm having a problem doing that. Some of the information is standard labels that can be searched. But there is a section that is variable length where I only need to count the number of '.' in that group.

I have the upload part working. I just don't have the counting part working. I can send you a file if you would be interested in looking at it. Let me know.
Thank you again!
