ayrnieu, OP's need `Good_Ol_Time` but your output shows `Good_O l_Time` As per perlfunc - Perl builtin functions tutorial. y/// The transliteration operator. Same as tr///. Updated: ayrnieu updated his answer without proper information. Regards, Velusamy R. eval"print uc\"\\c$_\""for split'','j)@,/6%@0%2,`e@3!-9v2)/@\|6%,53!-9@2~j';	[reply] [d/l] [select]

ah, "and remove any '". I know what `y///` is, I just don't know why anyone would use it. Why do you have a \ ?	[reply] [d/l]
