Yesss! you are right: doing some trials I had just included a space in  
my selection ;-))
I am going to improve my script to take your suggestion into account.
Actually, I have spaces, tabs and carriage returns in the field;  
otherwise there are only numbers (it is a field where the day numbers  
are displayed in an annual calendar (one line for each month) and  
where the user can select periods).

Vielen dank

André
