It was quite funny programming this, and testing it out. I know that my solution is far from perfect, but since I invested some time in it (I'm quite new to ruby, so had to look up a lot of stuff) I'm submitting it. It does nothing fancy, and it misses some error-checking. The main data structure is a Hash, it's explained in the code. If I did something completely stupid it would be nice if someone tells me :-) Thanks, Tom --Multipart on__10_Apr_2006_14_08_01_+0200_F9bQX8/Xl_mrbZki Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name arkov.rb" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename arkov.rb" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Y2xhc3MgTWFya292CiAgICBkZWYgaW5pdGlhbGl6ZShmaWxlbmFtZSkKICAgICAgICBAZnJlcXVl bmNpZXM9SGFzaC5uZXcKICAgICAgICBAdGV4dD1BcnJheS5uZXcKICAgICAgICB1bmxlc3MgRmls ZS5leGlzdHM/KGZpbGVuYW1lKQogICAgICAgICAgICBwcmludCgiRmlsZSBub3QgZm91bmQhXG4i KQogICAgICAgICAgICBleGl0CiAgICAgICAgZW5kCiAgICAgICAgRmlsZS5vcGVuKGZpbGVuYW1l KSBkbyB8aW98CiAgICAgICAgICAgIGlvLmVhY2ggZG8gfGxpbmV8CiAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICBs aW5lLmVhY2goJyAnKSBkbyB8d29yZHwKICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICB3b3JkLnN0cmlwITsg d29yZC5nc3ViISgnIicsJycpCiAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgbmV4dCBpZiB3b3JkLmVtcHR5 PwogICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIEB0ZXh0PDwgd29yZAogICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgZW5kCiAg ICAgICAgICAgIGVuZAogICAgICAgIGVuZAogICAgICAgICMgVGhlIHN0cnVjdHVyZSBvZiB0aGUg ZnJlcXVlbmNpZXMtaGFzaCB0aGF0CiAgICAgICAgIyBJIGJ1aWxkIGhlcmUgaXMgYXMgZm9sbG93 cwogICAgICAgICMgW3dvcmQxLHdvcmQyXSA9PiB7Zm9sbG93aW5nd29yZDEgPT4gZnJlcXVlbmN5 LCBmb2xsb3dpbmd3b3JkMiA9PiBmcmVxdWVuY3kuLi59CiAgICAgICAgMi51cHRvKEB0ZXh0Lmxl bmd0aC0xKSBkbyB8aXwKICAgICAgICAgICAgdHVwZWw9QHRleHRbaS0yLi5pLTFdCiAgICAgICAg ICAgIHdvcmQ9QHRleHRbaV0KICAgICAgICAgICAgdW5sZXNzIEBmcmVxdWVuY2llcy5oYXNfa2V5 Pyh0dXBlbCkKICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIEBmcmVxdWVuY2llc1t0dXBlbF09e3dvcmQgPT4gMX0K ICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIG5leHQKICAgICAgICAgICAgZW5kCiAgICAgICAgICAgIGlmIEBmcmVx dWVuY2llc1t0dXBlbF0uaW5jbHVkZT8od29yZCkKICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIEBmcmVxdWVuY2ll c1t0dXBlbF1bd29yZF0rPTEKICAgICAgICAgICAgZWxzZQogICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgQGZyZXF1 ZW5jaWVzW3R1cGVsXVt3b3JkXT0xCiAgICAgICAgICAgIGVuZAogICAgICAgIGVuZAogICAgZW5k CgogICAgZGVmIHByaW50X3NlbnRlbmNlcyBuCiAgICAgICAgbi50aW1lcyB7cHJpbnRfc2VudGVu Y2V9CiAgICAgICAgcHJpbnQgIlxuIgogICAgZW5kCgogICAgZGVmIHByaW50X3NlbnRlbmNlCiAg ICAgICAgc3RhcnQ9QXJyYXkubmV3CiAgICAgICAgaT1yYW5kKEB0ZXh0Lmxlbmd0aCkKICAgICAg ICAjZmluZCB0aGUgYmVnaW5uaW5nIG9mIGEgc2VudGVuY2UKICAgICAgICBsb29wIGRvCiAgICAg ICAgICAgIGlmIEB0ZXh0W2ldPX4vXltBLVpdLyAmJgogICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICEoQHRl eHRbaV09fi9bLiE/XS8pICYmCiAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgIShAdGV4dFtpKzFdPX4vWy4h P10vKQogICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgc3RhcnQ9QHRleHRbaV0sQHRleHRbaSsxXQogICAgICAgICAg ICAgICAgaSs9MQogICAgICAgICAgICAgICAgYnJlYWsKICAgICAgICAgICAgZW5kCiAgICAgICAg ICAgIGkrPTEKICAgICAgICAgICAgaT09MCBpZiBpPT1AdGV4dC5sZW5ndGgKICAgICAgICBlbmQK ICAgICAgICBidWZmZXI9c3RhcnQKICAgICAgICBwcmludCBzdGFydC5qb2luKCIgIiksICIgIgog ICAgICAgICNidWlsZCBuZXcgc2VudGVuY2UKICAgICAgICA2MC50aW1lcyBkbwogICAgICAgICAg ICB3b3Jkcz1AZnJlcXVlbmNpZXNbYnVmZmVyXQogICAgICAgICAgICBzcGFjZT1BcnJheS5uZXcK ICAgICAgICAgICAgd29yZHMuZWFjaF9wYWlyIGRvIHx3b3JkLCBmcmVxdWVuY3l8CiAgICAgICAg ICAgICAgICBmcmVxdWVuY3kudGltZXMge3NwYWNlIDw8IHdvcmR9CiAgICAgICAgICAgIGVuZAog ICAgICAgICAgICB3b3JkID0gc3BhY2VbcmFuZChzcGFjZS5sZW5ndGgpXQogICAgICAgICAgICBi dWZmZXIuc2hpZnQKICAgICAgICAgICAgYnVmZmVyIDw8IHdvcmQKICAgICAgICAgICAgcHJpbnQg d29yZC5nc3ViKC9bXCJcJ10vLCcnKSwgIiAiCiAgICAgICAgICAgIGJyZWFrIGlmIHdvcmQ9fi9b LiE/XSQvCiAgICAgICAgZW5kCiAgICBlbmQKZW5kCgp1bmxlc3MgQVJHVi5sZW5ndGg9PTIKICAg IHByaW50ICJVc2FnZTogbWFya292LnJiIDx0ZXh0ZmlsZT4gPG51bWJlciBvZiBzZW50ZW5jZXMg dG8gcHJpbnQ+IiAKZW5kCm09TWFya292Lm5ldyhBUkdWWzBdKQptLnByaW50X3NlbnRlbmNlcyhB UkdWWzFdLnRvX2kpCg --Multipart on__10_Apr_2006_14_08_01_+0200_F9bQX8/Xl_mrbZki--
