thanks . I meant to post the one without the /s hehe I had taken it out and grabbed the wrong one to paste. thanks . I forgot about the g mod
tr does seem like a better option.
I don't choose the delimiter unfortunately :( unless you are referring to the / in the regex... which I didnn't know there was any way to use another one? did you mean $row[0] =~ s,\/,,glike using a different regex delimiter? or did you mean the /'s in the field?
Thanks for all your responses .. problem solved... multiple ways :)
Yeah, you can use (just about) anything as your regexp delimiter, and if you use something other than / you don't need to escape it. So s,/,,g or tr,/,,d (or whatever other delimiter strikes your fancy; I'm fond of matched delimiters like tr{/}{}d, but that's just me).
