I did print it before looking to compare as I normally make CS> habit of and it is printing the value as expected. what value did you get? your last code did not parse it out correctly. if you got id=123 then you can't compare than as a string and get the correct results when comparing to 100 no matter what the operators used. >> Uri> ge is for string compare. >= is for numeric. CS> See above comment no, id=123 is a STRING. but 100 is a NUMBER. apples don't compare to oranges. read perldoc perldata to learn how perl handles numbers and strings and converts between them. perl does not divine a number INSIDE a larger string and use that for a number. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ u...@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
