I see your point. I figured that I was probably over complicating things.

Tried your suggestion exactly and the filter works well printing the city names however the "'found at' $date" does not display nor does the sound play. (Sound works fine when run independently). For whatever reason, that "then" statement does not complete??
Thanks
