in thread Search function not working from CD Rom

Sorry if I did not make it clear. When on the hard disk the files are being opened from the hard disk and when the program is on the cd the files are being opened from the cd. All paths are relative apart from the 1 saying where the temp directory is. The directory structure is identical on the hard disk(well not the whole hard disk, but the relevant parts anyway) to the cd. Regards, Gerard

    It's not something like attempting to open files with write access, is it?

    ---
print map { my ($m)=1<<hex($_)&11?' ':'';
$m.=substr('AHJPacehklnorstu',hex($_),1) }
split //,'2fde0abe76c36c914586c';

      Ha ha!! Duh. Well, I will have to check, but that sounds about right. Sometimes I make the stupidest mistakes!!!

        The real mistake is doing stuff like: 

        open FOO, $file

# and not
open FOO, $file or die_nice( "Can't open $foo, Perl says $!\n");

sub die_nice {
    print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n" . shift;
}

        If you don't check you errors you waste a lot of time....

        Glad you got it sorted!

        cheers
