a) I think we all 'preach' to the unwashed masses in the background... b) This SERIOUSLY WORRIES ME: my $weirdWord = '12a34b56b78aCADaPatonb japhyb234'; my @words = split 'a|b' , $weirdWord; print "we have:$_:\n" for @words; I just do NOT know right off the top of my head, when, where or HOW I would use that type of a conditional in a split... { Ok, I'm not sure if the fact that it did what I expected, based upon the kvetchings between you two, or that I coded it to prove it worries me more.... } c) I'm not sure I want to know about s'$%@|'replacement'; d) I think half the fun of the game so far has been watching the competing arguments propose more detailed insight.... ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
