Note that the quotes around the end marker string affect how the body of text is interpolated. If you have double quotes like this then the block is in double-quote context and variables will be interpolated. if the marker is in single quotes then, likewise, the context is a single-quote one and all variable names will remain intact. You can leave out the quotes altogether, when the context is a double-quote one but there can be no spaces in the initial statement, either in the marker or after the <<, like this: print <<ENDOFBLOCK; stuff ENDOFBLOCK Cheers, Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
