Are you absolutely certain that some software between the browser and your program is not translating badname's.jpg into badname's.jpg ? -----------------------
VERY interesting. This script is in the middle of some cgi with fields entered and sent in via html forms. I threw in a print and it looks like the value of UploadedImage is FlyingField::s.jpg at the time this evaluation is running ???!!! There must be some really odd stuff going on with html encoding or regx! Anyway, if I change my match to :: I can now catch the situation... not that I understand how a ' gets changed to :: thanks for idea... once again proving that a simple print statement to check what you actually have is a great idea. ;) D -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
