You need to extract the price from each line. A regex like: ($price) = $line =~ /\$(\d+,?\d*)/; should do the trick. It stores the price in $price. You'd then need to translate the , to a . so that Perl recognizes it. $price =~ s/,/./; Then it's just a matter of adding. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ ** Look for "Regular Expressions in Perl" published by Manning, in 2002 ** <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
