Thanks, that works great.

And as per "Michael S" I checked the man pages:

ptrdiff_t Used for a count of elements, and array indices. C99 and POSIX.1-2001.

size_t Used for a count of bytes. C99 and POSIX.1-2001.

ssize_t Used for a count of bytes or an error indication. POSIX.1-2001.

So for my arrays and loops I'll change to ptrdiff_t.
