Bonk. When using qw (quote words) I thought they had to be separated by white space: $line=qw(1 6.944 "methane" 29.6576 70617.28 "*BB" 8533.32 2381.0883 0.21); .... which brings up a question, what if one of the elements is "propyl alcohol" with quotes needed? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
