Thanks Ron, will give that a try.. One more for everyone... In my perl script, I did a quick cheat by using the systems grep command... I tried: `/usr/bin/grep -v "BLAH" | /usr/bin/grep -v "COW" | /usr/bin/grep -v "STUFF" file1>file2`;
And this doesn't work. Sometimes it will get rid of STUFF. It seems to only act on the last grep I use. I tried escaping the pipes, but that didn't work. Any ideas?
