Thanks. I have resolved that problem and actually have it working now. For future reference though, do you have any suggestions on how to seperate "Leppala"01261907 or "Saukville""WI" If not though that is cool as I have it working properly now. peace dez L

    If you are unconcerned about escaped quotes ("George \"The Man\" Washington") a quick way would be to set $keep to 1
    &quotewords('\s+', 1, $_);
    and then split on quotes.
