LOL, I'm not too worried about nanoseconds. grin I added that "inc %badtok like you suggested and it does increment the number. I found that I think it doesn't reset it though with just using that line, which confuses me. I thought that using var instead of set would reset everything until the next time it's used. It looks like it's incrementing the number each time the alias is run. If I add "var %badtok" to the line before the loop, will that re-declare the variable and make it 0? Thanks.
