Are you searching for <carat>M or using the single character when in vim? Single character being <Ctrl+v> followed by <Return> this should at the / or in a substituition work.
If that makes no sense I can try and explain it differently. This method also works when inputting the string into the Perl sub, however if you then edit the code on a different type of system it *may* break. http://danconia.org Desmond Lee wrote: > Hi guys > > I'm trying to read a file, but it's just one massive line.
