Any ideas greatly appreciated ;o) billythekid

Use the following alias along with the command, it's a faster alternative to looping with $read: alias remtab { did -a wplists 8 $remove($1-,$chr(9)) } Then use the command /filter -fk wptools\akicklist.txt remtab Edit: sorry, had this post on preview for about an hour before I realized I hadn't yet posted Last edited by Sigh; 15/09/04 01:51 PM.
