You know, you're completely correct, and that mostly proves your point about using a module. I theoretially knew what the proper code should be, but I wasn't paying attention and wrote something that was broken and didn't even think about it, the module would have been much easier.

You are both correct. `s/%(\d\d)/chr $1/eg` will do fine if all you care about are encoded #'s (but then, you might as well use the faster and shorter `s/%23/#/g`). But if you want to be more general, use what mdillon states.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
