Hi all, I have a path to a file name. (In a script for uploading files). I want to allow only the a-z, A-Z, and 0-9 characters and I want to replace all others with _ when writing the file to the server. Can you tell me what would be this regular expression? Thank you. Teddy, [EMAIL PROTECTED

Re: The size of the uploaded file

Hi, it is off topic. I've seen more messages including this one that I am replying to, that have no text in it and I need to open an attachment to read the message. Can you tell me what is the problem? I have Windows 2000 and Outlook Express 6. Thank you. Teddy, [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Origin

Why using use strict;

Hi all, I know why I should use "use strict;" but what happen if I use "use strict;" then if the code is OK, I delete this line? Shouldn't it work the same without this line if the code has no problems? Thanks. Teddy, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For ad
