I'd like to use something like this @lines = grep(/^"(.*)",?$/, @fulltext);
except I want @lines to contain what would be in $1...that is the (.*) part instead of the whole line. I was doing this for (@fulltext) { if (/^"(.*)",?$/) { push (@lines,$1); } } but it seems like the grep might be more efficient. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
