I personally would avoid creating a temp file in the process and would instead read in the $fileName - and find the stuff that I need and 'use it' in the code.... unless you really need to create a new file that will be used elsewhere. > Only Problem: when joining the Lines to one line I get ^M where used to > be the newline char... [..] http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/RegEx/eolOut.txt provides way that this can be done... so I would be working all of the sneek and peek that I recommend in http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/RegEx/paraHablarRegular.txt all inside of the while(<LOG>) { .... } then again I would also do something of the form open(LOG,"$fileName") or webSafeWhine($thisAngst); which is mostly implied in your if(open(LOG,"$fileName")) { } else { # have problem with LOG here } ciao drieux http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/ -------------- This space left intentionally blank. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
