Hi. If you want to use split, this will work: my $DN = 'CN=EX-MSG-01,CN=Servers,CN=foreignlocation,CN=Administr...'; my ($server) = split ',', $DN; # 'CN=EX-MSG-01' (undef, $server) = split '=', $server; # 'EX-MSG-01' HTH, Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
