WOW! This is a huge coincidence...I was testing the script and then it came upon me that indeed, the special chars need to be evaded. I edit my post, and right when I click submit, i get an email, with your post.
Oh well

Btw first I thought of using $wildtokcs, but didn't work out for me (with 32 as delimiter). I've never seen the ascii 0 as a delimiter. What does this do exactly? So you can use "nothing" as a delimiter? Interesting...that can be handy in certain situations.
