Perhaps this would be what you want? It depends on why you need to know; if you are testing a file for reading, this would do it. For writing, probably not. eof FILEHANDLE Returns 1 if the next read on FILEHANDLE will return end of file, or if FILEHANDLE is not open. -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
