I know what mean by saying "just wanted to signify it wouldn't matter if it were 2 or 20:)"

But this whole discussion was about making 1 line VFP code work in C# with 20 lines of code, which is not correct.

my point is: is that discussion was gonna exist if comparing 1 line with 2 line?

Your example is 2 lines length, which is more than acceptable, unless a comparison will be made to compare char/line also :)

I had to admit that this was my concern also (coding length) so when I see a vfp function converted to .net (vb or c#) in just 2 lines, then is good code and unique one.
