Please don't shout by using all capitals and please use some <br>'s to make a newline. Also, your regexp's don't seem right to me. If you want to match a word without punctuation, you might try something like this: `if ($word =~ m/([a-zA-Z0-9\']+)/) { print $1; }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Hi Fasteddie Welcome to perl monstery. Please repost your question Don't use CrAPs. Wrap your code between code tags, so it will not lose the special characters. Read some of QandASection: regular expressions questions and answers to practice with Regexes. artist	[reply]
