Yes. You could use a regular expression s/\.// (#UN-TESTED) should do the
trick.
> For example say I have array @records that contain the following:

> Myrecord1 Myrecord2 Myrecord3 Myrecord4 Myrecord5, inc. Myrecord6,
> LP Myrecord7, LLC
Simply because it urks me. You do understand the array @records should
really have MyField1, MyField2, MyField3, MyField4, ....
> I want to send this query out to persons in a .csv file but the join(",",
> @record) statement that I am using causes the and extra cell to be created at
> Myrecord5, inc. Myrecord6, LP Myrecord7, LLC.
Then tab delimit it or even better pipe delimit the file.
#UN-TESTED
print join('|', @record);

Yea, use a pipe delimited file.
