So, I guess this raises the question of just how you get a literal space from a space-delimited file to use as a replacement string, anyway? One way would be to use a non-space delimiter, but this may just shift the problem to another boundary.That is a well known problem and it has been solved over and over again. Probably the easiest way to do it is by using a "CSV"-style file and Text::CSV knows how to do this perfectly. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James My blog: Imperial Deltronics
