My previous message about this had a typographical error. Two variable names, "f" and "symb", appeared in the Module numrules, but only one name should have been used. The Module should have read: numrules[f_Symbol] := Module[{inf}, inf = StringToStream[ToString[Definition[f]]]; Length[Select[ReadList[inf, Record], StringMatchQ[#1, StringJoin[ToString[f], "[*"]]&]] ] -- ___________________________________________________________________________________ Levent Kitis lk3a at cars.mech.virginia.edu lk3a at kelvin.seas.virginia.edu University of Virginia Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering ___________________________________________________________________________________
