2. arrange the output so it retains its order of highest version number to lowest.
I don't see any problem. All from highest to lowest.
mmm ok maybe I didn't explain it clearly in post18, so i'll try again. When I version the files, I HAVE to have a "1." at the start of it, so version 1 becomes version 1.1, version 2 becomes 1.2, version 15 would become 1.15 and so on. So when the file says for example:
what i need is output as:
so basically in terms of the version numbers (not the decimals), 1.7 say, would be a lower VERSION than 1.10, which is NOT the same as 1.1. This is why I said maybe the best thing would be if we could remove the "1." at the start and then compare the numbers, and then before we output them then add the "1." back on. Apologies if I did not make this clear in post#18, its not my intention to be deliberately misleading. Many thanks
thanks for the reply, unfortunately although it ran and everything, it has a problem with files if their version number is 1.10, as it see's this as the same as 1.1. So,
File1
File2
I get the output
:-S
Any idea's?
