I'm nopt sure where you're getting your line, but I will assume that it's inside a loop that feeds the default scalar '$_". Outside the loop: my @servers; inside: $string =~ s/(.+?)\,.+$/$1/; #? makes it *lazy* taking the first available match that includes all #prior elements. push (@servers, $_); Joseph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
