Are you sure it is a CR and not some evil non-printable character used by MS?

Try editing the file with a text editor (not a word processor!), delete the current newline character, insert a CR and try again. If it works, the problem is to find what is the newline character used in the file.

Rule One: "Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man."

I'm on a Mac using TextEdit in text mode (no MS) and Terminal to run Perl. Have you been able to get my example to work on your machine? Thanks, Bob	[reply]

Did you try Fletch's suggestion? On a Mac (which shouldn't matter much for this): `-> cat junk.html _ABC_<TD> <FONT FACE=arial SIZE=-1>_XYZ_ -> perl -00pe 's/<TD>\s*<FONT FACE=arial SIZE=-1>/widget/g' junk.html _ABC_widget_XYZ_` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
