Thanks Rob, Is this homework? Not hardly! I was sitting here the other day and the thought came to mind as our state lottery has not had a winner in over a year. (The public started thinking that there is a conspiracy because it was exactly a year ago that our state went to computer generated lottery numbers AND there has not been a winner since! -Look up the Hoosier Lottery Drawing).
I will give yours as well as the other examples a try and will benchmark the fastest code. Homework though? What gave you that idea? It is my only wanting to expand my mind when dealing with parsing information from a page via regular expressions without the use of a module. -Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
