"Anyone that can convert that to perl real quick? " Yes, but anyone willing to for someone who does not know how to post a question effectively? It is bad manners to simply ask people to code for you. Unless you are offering money. In that case, there are plenty of other websites. I am sure there are people willing to simply assist you with your initial question though. I'm so adjective, I verb nouns! chomp; # nom nom nom	[reply]

I recommend AutoIt when in need to manipulate Windows GUI elements explicitly. It's a more Windows-GUI oriented tool, and for a specific job might be easier to use than Perl. Stop saying 'script'. Stop saying 'line-noise'. We have nothing to lose but our metaphors.	[reply]
