$record =~ s/[\.\-]//g; if it is a '.' or a '-' replace it with nothing. Actually, I don't even think the [] is necessary, so it could just be: $record =~ s/\.\-//g;

Here is my code: while (my $record = <QUOTEP>){ my $policies = <POLTEP>; my @fields = split( /\t/, $record ); my @policies = split( /\t/, $policies ); When I need a record I call it from the array @fields[5], etc. But need do the removing of ... and - before I display them.
