I had not even got the Perl side of the program that deals with this yet as I started at the console with Sed knowing once I got that right I could use it in Perl. You already jogged me in the right direction, on some unrelated sample data: sed 's#c:\\data\\fw791.2007_1102.18#c:\\data\\Copy of fw791.2007_1102.18#'Ig db.xml output the correct looking data to screen. Don't I need the hash symbols? Thanks! jlc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
