    Eros;

    I don't know about where you are but here in Quebec texting in your car will get you a lecture from a cop and a nasty fine.

    Here is the piece of code, as modified with a 100msec sleep. CPU usage now unmeasurable.

    Same thing, Eros. It does not show COM9. Both the Registry and Device Manager do show it, however. Strange. Consequence of a 64-bit machine?

    I tried your code and it gets the three Bluetooth ports on my system, but not the USB-to-Serial bridge (COM9). System is 64-bit Windows 7 - could this be the reason? See attached regedit...

    Re: Parsecount

    Petr;

    I think your code will return 4 if the last line ends with a CRLF. I will simply use TALLY rather than PARSECOUNT. Should have done that in the first place.

    Parsecount
