Hello David, I'm able to open the file, read the contents and output the results of my initial filtering to a new file.
The problem is that my new file has duplicate entries, and cleaning up duplicates is where I'm stuck.

Ie I want the repetitions ignored. What have you tried? Where are you stuck? (Opening the file? Reading the contents? The actual filtering?). Nothing in your question is CGI related, have you got this working as a command line script but are having trouble converting it to work under CGI? What code have you got so far? -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
