I can't check this now, as I'm at work, but doesn't that just put all those numbers, spaces included, into $list[0]? That's what I thought John was telling me the "Use of unitialized value in concatenation" etc error was alerting me about. I can get the range, and I can get the spaces in between the numbers, I just can't seem to get the numbers into an array, one number per element. > I hope this helps.

I'm not sure what you mean by "cross-purposes." Thanks for the help. -stu __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
