Also, $this = $that++ doesn't do what you might think: $that = 10; $this = $that++; print "this=$this, that=$that\n"; # this=10, that=11 To get the next line, just say: $nextline = <WORKFLOW>; And why are you using $_ at all? -- 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]
