These characters look like white spaces when I open the file in a text editor. Is there a way I can make them visible so that I can manipulate them with a Perl script? Is there a Perl function that allows me to delete any "invisible" character? Can I convert them to hex/octal values? Thanks, --tassos _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
