<sigh> Let me start over. The file I want to modify has a 6-digit filename and an extension htm. For example, 131002.htm
I'm working in Windows, with Strawberry perl, with Randall L. Schwartz's "Learning Perl", copyright 1993. I also have "Perl 5 Pocket Reference", 1998 and copies of "Programming Perl" and "Perl Cookbook", all last century. That's how current my knowledge is. :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
