Hi,

First, a suggestion for future posts: you may want to surround your code in code tags. It makes reading it a bit easier.

You definately will want the chomp in there. $miss will need to be one of the keys exactly. So, if you have any other whitespace on that line in the file, it could be throwing you off too.

Also, the example you gave said you used 10.20.47.13 as the test string, which is not in your hash (you have 10.20.46.13). With that correction and the chomp, the script works fine for me. Check the file you are reading from.

($$<<$$=>$$<=>$$<=$$>>$$) always returns 1. :-)
