The pattern matching function m// should return the number of times the pattern matched.
Update: Wups. My mistake. Nevermind. Update 2: However, s/// does what I thought m// does, so you can do something like: my $count = ($string =~ s/(pattern)/$1/g;) Good luck. Zenon Zabinski | zdog | zdog7@hotmail.com
