Have you seen the perlfunc manpage? There is a length function. > 2. How does one extract an individual character of a string? Generally, with a pattern match. But there's also a substr function. String positions are indexed starting at zero. You can type 'perldoc perlfunc' at a shell prompt, or use this page: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfunc.html Cheers! --Tom Phoenix Stonehenge Perl Training -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
