Kurumi,

I dont know the head & tail of Ruby but your one liner does a fine job.

It looks like every one of you had a different approach to this issue and yet I cant seem to wrap my head around most of these approaches nor the way you folks are slicing this.

Im humbled & thanks a lot.

regards,
Lee.
