You can do the so-called binary search, which is a fancy name for this method code_1 code_2 code_n code_m then do code_1 code_2 ;; code_n ;; code_m if it still doesn't work, problem is in 1 or 2, so code_1 ;; code_2 ;; code_n ;; code_m if it ... etc And: the better you write the code to begin with, the better this method will work :) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
