    Hi

     

    The problem is these strings di not have a std format so to determine the device is to say the least hard.

    The other prblem is they are random to an extent and there are databases tiy can get to link to.

     

    The reason I asked the question was if any one who had worked with User Agents had worked out a formula to get the device data without a looku p DB.

     

    The more I read about the User Agents it seems a lookup DB may be t he way to go
