You interpreted my intent perfectly. And your code worked perfectly (though, in case someone else uses it, I think I had to tweak something before I got it to work, though I can't remember what it was and I might be confusing this with someone else's offering. ) The option-handling is package is great, though it's going to take me a few days to understand its nuances ... maybe quite a few days :-) Thanks for showing me some of the elegant heights of Ruby. After I'm satisfied with my understanding of the package, I'm going to try adding -cra --created_after, -cha --changed_after, etc. It seems to me that we should be able specify more than RE comparisons with an option-handler package. Best wishes, Richard
