Re^2: Searching for control characters

a) Yes, I did forget that. But it does work. For better style and conformity I should have it.
b) Yes, I mispelled it here. but it is all caps in my script.
c) Doesn't the parens around [:cntrl:] not capture? Or did I read that wrong in the docs?

if ( $line =~ /([[:cntrl:]])/ )
                {
                my $c = $1;

Or should I have gone about this differently?
Thanks. Eric

Your code runs, but you have no idea that the `open` failed and you blithely continue on until you get the error about trying to print to an unopened handle. Next the translation: "Yes, I mispelled it here. but it is all caps (and still wrong) in my script." Again, `ORD` is not ord. CASE MATTERS. And that code there is different than your initial example (but yes, that's correct and should put something meaningful in `$1`).	[reply] [d/l] [select]
