Probably the easiest way to do this is to process the report twice, once piped to /dev/null and simply count the pages (and omit any extra processing that doesn't affect the page count). When the first round is finished, let y = x, and process the report again, this time to it's real destination. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John H.
