No, I was intending for the operation to be performed on the program Patrick had suggested (or my revision), not on the input file (which doesn't contain any "\x00" or "\xff"). So unless I'm missing something q(s'\x0\xff' @') was indeed what I meant, special meaning of single quotes and all. That is, I wanted to change the part of the program that said q(tr,01\n,\x0\xff,d;) to q(tr,01\n, @,d;). I have no explanation for my not changing 'tr' to 'y' (or for that matter not removing the 'x' in '\x0'). I hang my head in shame. -- Keith C. Ivey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Washington, DC
