Michael, It's usually better to post a code example so that we can see what's going wrong. However, this quick example does what I think you are asking for: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $string = "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?\n"; $string =~ s/wo/qu/g; print $string; returns: How much quod quuld a quodchuck chuck if a quodchuck could chuck quod? Note the 'g' tacked on to the end of the substitution... -RN -- Robin Norwood Red Hat, Inc.
