Hi Francesco . It depends how you want to define where it is. To get the last word on the line (with possible trailing spaces): my $stuff; ($stuff) = ($string =~ /(\w+)\s*$/); \w is a 'word' character: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and underscore. \s is a whitespace character. Is this what you want? HTH, Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
