The script I created was to add multiple levels to a hash table. The problem is that I want to offer the greatest range of allowable characters for the input with the least amount of overhead.

Right now I have it use $chr(160) to replace the spaces. This was just temporary to get the script working. I'm thinking that I'll change it to actually replace the spaces with two control codes. (maybe even use three)

I'm curious as to what methods you guys use though and what you've found to work best though.

Also, does anyone know if there is a maximum length a hash item can have? The help file doesn't mention if there is one.

And lastly, because problems can arise from a line that is being parsed being too long, does anyone know of any ways around that should that problem present itself? (it's if the line being processed is 500 characters large, right? If not, what's the number?)

Thank you for your time. smile
