perl -e '$_ = "line1\r\nline2\r\n\r\nline4"; s/\r\n/<br>/gs; print' Please test, and figure out why it DOES make a difference. Also study what "perldoc perlop" has to say about s///. Look for "s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/egimosx" and especially the description of the "s" modifier. As you may know s/// only matches to the end of line (And "\r\n" happens to be a line delimiter) unless you use the /s modifier. ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
