Hi, There's really no simple, short way to say this. I would perhaps say something like 'I combined/collated the two lists by taking each entry, in sequence, from list 1 and following it with the corresponding entry from list 2'. Best wishes, Clive

N2g - Are there words for these routines in other languages?? (easier to program than to describe)

Best wishes, - A.

Not that I know of. I just wanted to know how to describe it. I wasn't looking for just a verb. Of course, it would be good if there's one. I think I've heard a short description for it but can't seem to recall. Perhaps, "Interlace List A and B starting with List A"?
