Isn't it missing a final : (or ;) in the output? لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]

not to hard after properly formatting the white space. most confusing thing was the second to last regex. solution: `#!/usr/bin/perl $_ = '!'; sub preRegex{ s//@_/; } preRegex(':::::::::::', ':' x 10); s. ::::::::.::\.::::\.' '\.:: \.:: \.::.gex; chomp $_; print $_;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
