What do you have so far? Can you show some code, even it isn't quite working, so we can see which part needs to be tweaked? And what are the specific requirements? Removing a line (or lines?) that exactly matches/match a given name? Does it have to work for multiple names, or just one name? Can the name be anywhere in the line(s)? Can there be other names in the line, or not? Does whitespace matter? If you can show us the code that you have so far, and pinpoint the exact requirements, I'm sure we can get you farther towards your goal. s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/	[reply]
