I could be faster in that perl won't try to "figure out" if it should do any encoding processing, e.g. Unicode, CRLF, and also not do any if it otherwise would. For these big substitutions on interdeterminate size files I like to roll my own routines. U know, go into a read() loop, pull in a buffer, scan with index() , write out, read, etc. I'm geared far more toward performance/coolness than simplicity. ;) -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede malis" 00000100 _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
