Re: Converting decimal value to hex

Thank you, the $name =~ s/\s+$//; did remove the extra characters, I would have liked to know exactly what they were, but that's due more to curiosity then the problem I had.

Anyway, Thank you both for your help.

If you want to access the removed part of the string, try: `$name =~ s/^(.?)(\s)$/$1/;` It is almost the same that you tried but with two little differences: the first quantifier is not greedy (? instead of ) so it will not eat up the spaces and the second part of the expression now catches all \s characters until the end of line. Rule One: Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man.	[reply] [d/l]
