Why don't you test it yourself, instead of asking us for permission? You can learn a lot about Perl by trying things yourself. And no, you can't. In a double-quoted string, "\co" means Ctrl-O, and I doubt you wanted that. Either use a backslashed backslash, a forward slash, or single quotes. (I suggest forward slashes.) -- 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.
