Well, escaping is done with \, but if you do that, you'll end up having "leaning toothpick syndrome": $buf =~ /d:\/dhs3mgr\/e1401\/dhs3linux\/fr\/cpiofile/; That is gross. Use a different m// delimiter: $buf =~ m{d:/dhs3mgr/e1401/dhs3linux/fr/cpiofile}; -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ ** Look for "Regular Expressions in Perl" published by Manning, in 2002 ** -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
