Thanks Rob for your reply... My problem is :the values i pick up from is actually not a file.(Sorry about that)
The values are stored as an array of structs as key value pairs i.e /thus/axioss/serviceID:123456 /thus/axioss/supplierProduct:Test Stream 100 /thus/axioss/web/installationTelephoneNumber:020837111663 I hope i am being clear now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- regards, Ajitpal Singh, -----Original Message----- From: Rob Dixon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 February 2004 20:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: RE:help on picking up key & values Ajit P Singh wrote: > > Comrades, > > > I have a function which takes up arguments as shown below: > > $str = "./place_order -t " . > "/thus/axioss/serviceID:\"" . $self->{serviceID} .

How is this 'RE:help on picking up key & values'? It's not clear what your problem is. You need to - Open the file - Read its records - Close it - Build your string from the data read What can't you do?
