Can you send a file example. Don't considering the file size. use Data::Dumper; my @file = split(/(2\.2\./d+\./d+\./d+) /, $fileText); shift(@file); my %blocks = @file; print(Dumper(\%blocks)); In blocks you would find the keys read to be parsed and the values as being the rest. One real example cloud help. Marcos -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
