Excellent suggestion. I shall implement it forthwith. Part of the reason I was perplexed was that this script ran for a year with nobody complaining. In fact, I discovered some time after I'd posted that it's not the regex that's failing, it's some execrable code doing the logging - I hadn't cleared a variable at the beginning of a loop, so the log messages sometimes referred to the previous iteration. I guess we were just lucky over the last year that on the odd occasions we had to sort problems by checking the logs, it didn't affect anything. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
