Right now it returns a total of all items in the hash table. here is a sample of what it is returning: Code: i search for neoknight which i know there are 32 entries in the filelist hashtable for neoknight: it returns: 426 32 times i search for junkie in the same hashtable exactly the same way and i know there are 10 items in there relating to junkie it returns: 426 10 times hope i explained that right, maybe yall can clean my code a little so i can get it working the way i want Last edited by keeker; 01/02/03 10:52 PM. keek: Scots - intr.v. keeked, keek·ing, keeks To peek; peep.

That's what the "426" you get really is. Just remove the .data from $hget(), ie use something like Code: echo -a $hget(filelist,$hfind(filelist,* $+ %lsearch $+ *,%hfound,w).data) /.timerQ 1 0 echo /.timerQ 1 0 $timer(Q).com
