Have you tried anything? open FILE, "tickers.txt" or die "can't read tickers.txt: $!"; chomp(my @sym = <FILE>); close FILE; Now you have @sym with the tickers. If you want to print it with commas separating them and quotes around them... print join("," => map "'$_'", @sym); -- 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.
