Perl Community Sorry for misleading. I was working on the erroneous assumption that since I specified 'binmode' perl would find the equivalent of nx ny in binary and do as required. I definitely have to read on data formats and perhaps convert the file to ascci, do replacements and rewrite it in binary. Your contribution has been really worthwhile (excuse my wasting your time), but am very thankful. Zilore

There is no replacement because the data you are attempting to replace is not in that file. There is no nx or ny or nxny etc. _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
