Gadzooks!

Sorry Aristotle, not enough tea this morning. I seem to have somehow stupidly misinterpreted the whole question.

Knom, as Aristotle has so wisely said, you need to post your code, here is a quick example:

#!/usr/bin/perl
open (PSTEST, "/bin/ps  -eaf|");
$i=1;
while (<PSTEST>){
        print "Line # ".$i." ".$_;
        $i++;
}
close PSTEST;
