That would do it. Without the 's' in front of the regex, it doesn't know
you're trying to search and replace.
The divide error is odd, and shouldn't be happening, but try this instead:
s(\s*)()g

No error messages or anything, but the white space is still in there. I
did, however change the syntax to
$var=~ s/\s*//g;
From
$var=~/\s*//g;
Because I got a divide error when using the later.

That's what I thought it would be but still no luck.

After I sent it out, I actually came up with the idea myself after some
digging. (go figure) any case, I am now having another problem which,
even after some research still proves difficult. I have a variable
like: file .htm but what I want to do is trim the white space between
file and .htm any ideas?
