Your expression above only asked to get the letters :) You specified a character range. If you want to include the underscore, use the '\w' code which is equivalent to [a-zA-Z_0-9]. Example: $thisRec =~ /\w+/ I'm not sure if that is entirely what you want to do since your statement above indicates you are trying to take the first part before any not alpha character. > It only gets the letters, but I am not sure how to write in the underscore. > > Any attemps I have made > on adding the _ get the wrong results e.g -->s/([A-Za-z]_*)/\n$1/g; > <---Didn't work.Created a newline > right before the underscore. > > Assistance would be much appreciated :) NSTH* Jeff * not sure that helps :) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
