Boy, this is a wierd one! I tried this on imogene. The first two caused a syntax error like you reported. The second two, however, worked for me. Are you sure ".*" didn't work for you? Offhand, nothing stands out in the code. It uses yacc to parse the conf file, but I've never used yacc. I'll have to put this in the debugger and poke around some more. I'll let you know what I find out. Anne -- *************************************************** Anne Wilson UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden P.O.
