this sounds like an easy problem. why don't you try to code it up and
then post that code here. then we can help you with your solution.
CS> Can anyone point me at a way to do this?
it is best to work it out for yourself and then ask for help. this is a
simple problem that shouldn't need guidance for a solution. just write
code that reflects what you said in english. if you have trouble, write
more specific english with concrete details. that is easier to translate
to code.
thanx,
