Again, assuming @string was intended to be an array of values to scrub, y/[A-Za-z0-9]/[A-Za-z0-9]/d for @string; This replaces alphas and digits with themselves, and deletes everything else; it does so for each item in @string iteratively. > 2-wich will search and replace with "" (empty char) all nunnumeric > or nonalphabetic chars with the exception of "-","_","@","." ? > Same trick, different pattern. Just add the additional chars, but watch the minus....put it at the end so it isn't part of a range like a-z. y/[a-zA-Z0-9_@.-]/[a-zA-Z0-9_@.-]/ for @string; Just make SURE you get the order the same. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
