Folks, Hit there! I just joined the list. Amazing what one can do with rudimentary web-browsing skills. Is there any easy way to append a line or lines to the *beginning* of a text file? I've been through the Llama and Camel books, and the perldoc for Open, and I can't seem to find an easy way to do this. Pointers to online docs are fine with me. -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco No, there is no way. You must write your prepended lines to a new file and then append your old file, and, delste ( or rename to a backup) your old file, and rename your new file back to the old file. All easy to do with Perl. Aloha => Beau; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
