Yep. I remember an application that (silently?) balked at this /valid/ concoction: config_option[EOL] last_config_option[EOF] It had to be: config_option[EOL] last_config_option[EOL] [EOF] It did not tolerate the last line to end with end of file mark. It needed a clear end of line, then end of file. I do not remember what application did this. Some service, not an application. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
