His regex does need the g but he said he was getting output of C:/path/with\new/content. All slashes fixed except the one before n. Carter are u sure u stated ur problem right? With the regex u posted ur output would be C:/path\with\new\content. How do u know the \n is becoming a newline? If perl were interpreting it that way then ur output would look like C:/path/with ew/content The n would be gone and replaced with a linebreak. If that is indeed happening then the source of it would be however u are getting that line of data into ur script. Not anything u do to it later. >The problem is his RE is: > $root =~ s/\\/\//; >and should be: > $root =~ s/\\/\//g; -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede malis" 00000100 _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
