You need to find the line endings first. How did you acquire the data in the first place ? There should be newlines in there somewhere. Try dumping the data in hex and see if maybe you have \r's instead of \r\n's. If there really are no line endings, you could search for the first : (preceded by a non-digit) or - (surrounded by WS) and then pick up the stuff between there and the next one as the value (minuse the last word found). I don't have the time right now to play with it. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert ICQ=162126130 (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (Free site for Perl) -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
