This requires writing a state and then editing it. The state is a Tcl script so it should be relatively easy to put a loop around it. Just a warning, creating 600 pipeline objects in a loop might not work well performance-wise. I would recommend deleting the pipeline objects at the end of each iteration.
<br>Also, working with trace as opposed to state might be easier. Trace does not save out as much info as state.<br><br>-Berk<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/20/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Mike Jackson</b> <
