jkauffman, Unfortunately this code fails for special chars (@,#,$,%...), if you $_++, the the special chars=>1, but alphas increment. If you look at my code above you will see that our attempts are similar, $_**2 is the same as $_ * $_, and does remove the the numbers (except 0) again this is why you would use $_++, adding that first takes care of the zero. I am just not sure if my code above filters all special chars. Good attempt, we were thinking similar ;) Cameron
