In Perl, these are spelled: chomp($newstring = $str); chomp($str); In Perl 6, chomp() will probably be a string method, which means you might be able to write ($newstring = $str).chomp; But this is speculation. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ CPAN ID: PINYAN [Need a programmer?
