Don't care. Your user is fast enough to read it in realtime. If not, he is smart enough to pipe your output to more or less. BTW: This problem is not as easy as it sounds. There is no generic console definition, so you cannot say: hey, Get_Immediate after every 25 lines. Using xterms your line-number is even much more undefined :) And then solving the problems with serial terminals and/or different OSs. Good luck. The solution are the first 10 bytes in line 12. -- mail: adi@thur.de http://adi.thur.de PGP: v2-key via keyserver Stiftung Warentest Vibratoren. Testergebnis: alle befriedigend!
