If the options are alway numeric, you could use numeric comparisons instead of the match operator. That way, you would not have to chomp() the input because the == operator converts yout string to a number while conveniently doing away with trailing garbage. Also, you might want to check $blade for valid input, lest somebody input "3 rm -rf /;" or a similar exploit. Not that this is likely to happen with a tool that you use only by yourself, but it doesn't hurt to be a bit paranoid, because that mindset comes handy when you have to code critical stuff later on. OK, the next exercise is to redo this thing with a curses interface ;-) HTH, Thomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
