Oh yeah, you asked for tips ?

1) Don`t post these kinds of coding challenges on the board during the day. It tends to drive us kixters mad and we don`t get any real work done ! [Wink] heheh

2) Seriously, unless your paths always contain drive letters and colons (?), and if those blank lines of yours before the path are consistent, I would probably recommend you leverage off those in the parsing (instead of the semi-colon like I did).
