Just check like: chomp($input = ); # get input and remove the c/r $input = uc($input); if ( $input eq '' or $input eq 'N') { # nothing entered, so becomes your N # put what you want when default is entered } Wags ;) -Original Message--

Easiest way is to do print "Hit Y to continue: [N]"; $input = ; if ($input =~ /y/i) {print "this way anything but Y or y will get ignored\n";} Also, if you just want Y and them to not have to hit ENTER, too, try using getc. Agustin Rivera Webmaster, Pollstar.com http://www.pollstar.com ---

Rather, use: if ($input =~ /^y$/i) unless you want "yellow" and "okay" to work too. > -Original Message- > From: Agustin Rivera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 5:16 PM > To: Daniel Falkenberg; [EMAIL PROTECTED]
