Hi Random:

Thanks for your help.

In answer to your questions: The original file was not unlinked. I'm sure the code was being called, as the "printf(" DemoQc descrip: $tmpVal \n tmpPthFile: $tmpPthFil\n");" lines were displayed. The ini-new file was updated.

Interesting issue, though . . . . I ran your code, changing only the "my $new="c:\\temp\\mytest";" line (so I'd be sure where the files were going), but nothing was created. I'm on Win2K, so I'm now wondering if there's something going on at a system level. I'm really grasping at straws with that one. Any ideas?

Thanks!
