I didn't even think that such a regex would work underneath such a command. Pardon my ignorance. Sometimes it's the things that are most obvious, or the things I use most frequently that are the easiest to forget. Planning a complex solution around a simple problem is sometimes where I fall off. It comes from my experience in dealing with code that wasn't mine, that I have no idea how to fit it together, but yet I'm forever fixing ;) Thanks John, Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
