      Just out of interest, which piece of the documentation would have needed to be changed for you to be able to work that out for yourself?

        Probably something under basic string substitution... I was trying the substr but couldn't get it to work properly. I am very new to perl and only have to maintain a couple of very simple scripts and didn't want to spend alot of time on learning the lang.
