I needed a good chuckle today!
Thanks!
And thanks for the explanation for what those nasty brackets were doing. That means the first two scans were just lucky that nothing else matched that request. I got the flick now!

You're right, my code is really sloppy. I like the idea of blocking the code, didn't even occur to me
. Also letting the results return to the terminal will help a lot. Where I thought I was looking for the METERING keyword [MET] I now understand was only looking for words with the first character matching any of those three letters. That explains why I got the results I did.
As soon as I get back Monday I'll clean it up and use your suggestions. I see now I'm almost there, with all the great advice here. Thanks!
