Thanks, but quick question. If I do it from the command line it works fine. But if I add:
`perl -pi -we 's/\n/\r\n/' ./student.csv`; to my perl script it doesn't make the change to the file. Is there a reason for this?

Yeah, with a Perl one-liner it would be perl -pi -we 's/\n/\r\n/' file.txt or perl -pi.bak -we 's/\n/\r\n/' file.txt if you want a backup of the original file. -- fxn PS: For the archives, note those solutions assume the runtime platform is Unix. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ --------------------------------- Ready for the edge of your seat?
