I have no idea what you mean?

What does "file in the empty list" mean?
What are you trying to do?

Should that be "data list" rather than date list?

The count bit is easily done once you have the other bit working.
But its not clear what you re asking us to do.
Also please post the code in the mail rather than pastebin.
Pastebin is fine if its a big program (>100 lines say) but
for small programs just paste the code into the email.
Its much easier to read and comment on that way.
