Thanks for the suggestions. In fact, I use Notepad Plus and it was opening the original one saved by using file: and it looked fine. Perl just didn't like it. I switched now to binfile: to save the file and NotePad still sucks, but at least my perl script is now working. Thanks again for the support this group offers in such a timely manner. ****************************************** Stewart Lynch CreaTECH Solutions [email protected] 604.484.8499 Skype:StewartLynch There are only 10 kinds of people.
