while (<DPSLOTFILE>) {
    my ($slot) = /$dpdrivloc:\s*(\d+)/;
    print "$slot";
}

and there was no output....  Part of me was thingking it 
might be an issue with an ASCII file.  I tried opening the 
file using:

binmode (STDOUT);

and no difference...Comment on Re: Re: Extract field after keyword

I just tried it, substituting my while-loop for yours and it works for me. Maybe posting your entire script and test file would help ..... ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age. Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety.

You want `print "$slot\n";`, since otherwise your prompt might cover things up if you don't print anything else (depending on your shell).	[reply] [d/l]

Yep, I should have had that.... My bad. I entered it and it inserted about 5 or 6 newline characters, but $slot is still null...	[reply]
