Code: alias test1 { echo -a $hget(badword,0).item } alias test2 { var %x = $hget(badword,0).item while (%x >= 1) { hdel badword $hget(badword,%x).item \| dec %x } hsave badword $+($scriptdir,badword.hsh) } This seems to work for now. Thanks J

The -w switch indicates that item is a wildcard, all matching items are freed. That means /hdel -w badword * will do what you want. In your case however, it would probably be faster if you just /hfree'ed the table, then recreated it: Code: if ($hget(badword)) hfree badword hmake badword hsave badword badword.hsh or Code: hfree -w badword hmake badword hsave badword badword.hsh /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com
