The g-modifiers and the * quantifiers and the "? are either not right or not necessary. Alternative: s/^\s+//, s/\s+$// for $fn, $val; # alltrim s/^"(.*)"$/$1/ for $val; # val keeps any internal space at either end -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
