That looks fine to me. I noticed Bass sprak on 13 maart: > #!perl -p0 > s#^(\S* )(.*)\n\1#$1$2 #m&&redo > > If the input contains no duplicate lines, the "\S*" can be replaced > with ".*". Yet ".*" seems to work fine with duplicate lines. I can't find any test data where "\S*" behaves differently to ".*". /-\ http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
