The $. variable won't do the trick. You might be thinking about the tie stuff. There are modules out there that let you tie a file to a data structure (usually an array) so that when you "index" to the data structure, you will automatically taken to the line of the file. This gives you the impression that you can change a number and get back the corresponding line in the file. david -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
