thanks all for your help. It is my understanding that chomp($var); will only strip the \n from the end of a string. I'm dealing with strings that could potentially be littered with newline characters. I have an o'reilly perl book, but it's not super clear on how to strip *all* newline characters out of a string, no matter where they are. am i right in assuming regex needed for this? Thanks! providing the finest in midget technology
