There are no empty lines in your input. Ah, I see now. Eliminating empty lines was not a requirement, although the OP wasn't clear about that, since the convoluted `sed \| awk` construct in fact did remove all empty lines, even those wanted. The perl script doesn't, however. The `sed \| awk` was there for illustration purposes alone. The `l` script is meant to include empty lines of input. Sorry for the unclear spec. perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'	[reply] [d/l] [select]
