Hi Gerhard, I am almost totally ignorant in programming but I guess that if you don't need the parsing character by character for another operation there will already be a general solution for this problem in perl (which might be faster). Recently I did something similar in Postgres and by reading the manual I found a function called "regex replace" (or similar). I suggest you search your docu for this term (or search for "regular expression") and I am 99% sure you will get the answer. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
