: I do not understand what "/path/url.pl?H_String"; is. It looks like a CGI GET request. Like this one for Google. http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22multi+column%22+css : what is the ? before H_string for and why It is used to separate the cgi script name from the list of fields. I think RFC 2396 explains URIs. : understand that the H_string will be generated from a system : command for every $_ and it looks like : : sf.H02047 capacty: 189.1G space: 117.7G Can you show more examples. (Is capacity really spelled wrong in the code?). This one will fail in the code you gave. (Well, everything will fail in the code given, but assuming a complete code example was given, this example would fail.) How about five that should fail to print and five that should succeed and print a link. Here's how I would write the code for a question to a list. Note how I replaced the I/O with <DATA>. I don't care how you get the data, as long as you are sure the sample is an accurate sample. You can then just add the examples at the bottom of the script below the __END__ tag. Then we can all cut and paste the script to our editors and see your problem first hand. Note that I deleted the "open' statement, the extra comments, that $flag business, simplified the html, and added strict and warnings. All the distractions are out of the way and we can find what problem you are really having. As soon as we have some sample data. #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; viewhrtlab(); sub viewhrtlab { foreach ( <DATA> ) { if ( /(?i)fs_heartlab\.1/ .. /(?i)fs_lanv1.1/ ) { s<fs_lanv1.1><>; if (/(?i)total space available:/) { print "<p>$_</p>"; } else { print qq(<p><a href="$_"></a></p>\n"; } } } } __END__ sf.H02047 capacity: 189.1G space: 117.7G . . . Can you supply us something like that? HTH, Charles K.
