The code given you has an error. You read the line into $line, but the regex is being tested on $_. Either do: while (<MYFILE>) { next if /^\s*$/; # ... } or while (my $line = <MYFILE>) { next if $line =~ /^\s*$/; # ... } -- 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 ** <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
