Well, that won't work, but what you're going after would: `$string = "bcde"; $string =~ s/^(.+)$/a$1/;` [download] Update: AM's suggestion does work (my bad), as does mine, and so would betterworld's below. However it just seems a silly way to go about it, with either `$string = "a$string";` or `$string = 'a' . $string;` being the more traditional ways of doing it. --chargrill `$,=42;for(34,0,-3,9,-11,11,-17,7,-5){$.=pack'c'=>$,+=$_}for(reverse s +plit//=>$ ){$%++?$ %%2?push@C,$_,$":push@c,$_,$":(push@C,$_,$")&&push@c,$"}$C[$# +C]=$/;($#C >$#c)?($ c=\@C)&&($ C=\@c):($ c=\@c)&&($C=\@C);$%=$\|;for(@$c){print$_^ +$$C[$%++]}` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Wouldn't it be more straightforward to do it like this: `$string =~ s/^/a/;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I think I red somewhere that using the variables like $1 which you get from that regular exopression makes you program slower! Luca	[reply]
