@ kingfisher,
if yours was only one character then we have a problem because the 31 dots do not represent a string of different characters...for instance if that one dot represents alphabet letter 'a' we will end up with 31 'a's...the combination of the differnt alphabets in your derived meaning fails the test hehehehehehe gotcha!!!!
