Allen, Thanks for your reply. Probably because I saw the word "PERL" in a few places...I jumped to conclusions.
Did some additional digging and found a homegrown function with fifteen parameters (all well-named, I might add...see below...I'm sure this was intuitive to somebody...but not me). The function parses a text file and does a search/replace on variables that are in the text. function readcfg($cfile,$rt1="",$rw1="",$rt2="",$rw2="",$rt3="",$rw3="",$rt4="",$rw4= "",$rt5="",$rw5="",$rt6="",$rw6="",$rt7="",$rw7="") Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Allen Shaw Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2007 1:01 PM To: NYPHP Talk Subject: Re: [nyphp-talk] readcfg a PERL command?
