pos() doesn't tell you that. It tells you where the NEXT match will START looking. If you're using Perl 5.6 or later, you can use the $-[0] variable (that is element 0 of the @- array) to get the starting position of the current match. If you're using an older version of Perl, you'll have to do something like pos($str) - length($&) -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
