> >> my @kits = split ' ', $KIT_LIST; The extra space had make a difference..... Without extra space I was getting: a a a . t . z a a a _ d . t . z b b b . t . z b b b _ d . t . z c c c . t . z c c c _ d . t . z d d d . t . z e e e . t . z With extra space I get the correct output: aaa.t.z aaa_d.t.z bbb.t.z bbb_d.t.z ccc.t.z ccc_d.t.z ddd.t.z eee.t.z Thanks! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
