Your code may work fine but as long as his code is archoring the regex to the result of the function call: chomp($read_lines[0]) it won't. Unless of course he changes the regex match string to: m#^[01]$#; Note that the result of doing chomp on a scalar will be one of two values, 0 or 1. **** [EMAIL PROTECTED] <Carl Jolley> **** All opinions are my own and not necessarily those of my employer **** _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
