Hi Andrew, It sounds like you want a newline at the end as well, so I would recommend trying print "$string_name\\\n" This will append a "\" followed by a newline (\n). Because "\" has a special meaning in Perl programs, you need to prefix it with another "\" character if you want to actually print the literal character itself. Hope this helps!
