That is very nice of you, hixxy. By the look of it, I believe it'll work a charm once I give it a whirl. Many thanks to you.
Riamus2, this is what I do to add the hash table data:
hadd -m fruits $nick $addtok($hget(fruits,$nick),$r(3,15) $read(fruits.txt),44)
Then someone uses a command to trigger the code below to find out how many fruits he or she has picked:
msg # $iif($hfind(fruits,$$2),$v1 $+ 's Fruits: $replace($hget(pp,$2),$chr(44),$+($chr(44),$chr(32))),$2 is not a fruit picker.)
I hope this gives you a better, if not too thorough, idea as to what I've done.
