If you're unfamiliar with nix OSes, perhaps what I posted requires a little further explanation: The actual code I ran is the "`perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -e ' ... '`"* part (see perlrun). The two lines immediately following that second single quote is the output produced by the print statement. `cat` is a commonly used nix command (unrelated to Perl) that prints the contents of file(s). You can read "`$ cat pm_1045452_file1.txt`"* as "Here's the contents of the file `pm_1045452_file1.txt`:". This is entirely unrelated to the Perl code; it merely shows the data the Perl code is using (which, as stated, I had slightly modified). [In case you didn't know, "nix" is just an umbrella term for any UNIX-like OS.]* -- Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]
