\x0D is the same as \015, and \x0A is the same as \012. Hexadecimal (Base 16) vs. octal (base 8). I'm more used to octal for this sort of thing, but have no quarrel with using hexadecimal. However, \n should be \012 or \x0A, not \n. --Bill. -- William R Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wards.net/~bill/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
