Have you thought about a) taking your base Idea off on the side to say /tmp/<yourNameHere> b) thwack a little perl at the problem and see how it blows up???? I mean you have your 'sample file' of what you are expecting, and a sample file of what you are expecting to rewrite - when you get to the end of your code try say print "Survey Says:\n" system("diff $baseCleanFile $targetFile"); ciao drieux --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
