That could be a way to do it, but that choice wasn't made. Perhaps someone else could explain why \n means end-of-line in the pattern, but nul in the substitution, while \r means ^M in the pattern, but end-of-line in the substitution? And why not a \x representation for nul in the pattern - instead of needing to do a [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Note: ^M is created with ctrl-v following by <enter> and ^@ is created by ctrl-v followed by 000.] -- Best regards, Bill
