Perl has that, you can use exactly the same syntax -- s/search/replace/g hth Jeff > Guess I will look at the s2p you mentioned as well. > Dave -----Original Message----- From: Randy W.

I found ASED.pm, but would rather go with something built in. I looked around a bit, but didnt find anything. I guess I could go with using the Shell module but would rather using as few modules as possible. I'm not sure what you mean by sed-like function. Perl can do anything sed can do. There is also a script that converts sed to perl, see `perldoc s2p` -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
