I understand what you are looking for, but until PCS changes their featureset of getchars (as they say they will now), why don't you just to a precheck using [countchars]VARIABLE[/countchars], and if the number is less than your ending value for getchars, don't perform the getchars: [hideif [countchars]VARIABLE[/countchars]<10][getchars start=5&end=10]VARIABLE[/getchars][/hideif] Hopefully this will solve your problem and hold you over for a while. =============================================== Howard Wolosky Lead Programmer / Webmaster Lab2K, LLC +The Pubb - The best solution for your messageboard needs.
