/_Which, if any of these colons belongs to the data? Just "http://"? /_ /_s/http:/http\:/g /_ /_That'll escape the colons in URLs. Don't forget https:, ftp:, etc. if /_they're possibilities. /_ /_Now split on unescaped colons. Might be easier to change "http://" to /_"http;//", then change it back. /_ Yes, in this particular case, it is the URL. Your suggestion sounds like a good work around in this case, but what happens if another field contains a colon? That is my problem. I was kind of hoping for a solution that would take advantage of the fact that I have a fixed amount of fields. v/r -Mike
