Sometimes I just can't win {<grin>/<groan>/??? ;}
In some threads I'm chided for lack of details.
In this and other threads I lose for giving too many.

Y'all will have admit that I did say "Subject line is poorly phrased."
Having read the responses, my subject line my not be all that bad.

A better subject/body might have been [How does one edit a piped in 
stream?] .
I'll lay odds that I would be asked for more details.
If I can't win, can I break even? <*chuckle*>
Thanks
