I have used this: #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; my $string = "newline\nstring\nhere\n"; print (my $count = $string =~ s/\n/\n/g); But I've always thought there must be a more straightforward way.. This definitely seems a little clunky. Anybody else have something for this? Thanks Matt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
