Hi again, Thanks john for helping me with this solution to get the 16764 out of the $data string
($recievedmail) = $data =~ /\b(\d+)\b/; I have another question How would I pick out the 375 in the same string $data = "Received 921MB 16764 3955 375 2.2% 1296 7.7%"; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
