Chady, I like your signature file... I feel like the five minute fool for asking such a basic question. To answer your question, yes I am using the s/// command. The file I'm trying to write has some bizarre formatting for another application. It has it's own special line counting and EOL characters, so I was splitting to rebuild the character count per line and line count per story for multiple stories. I apologize for being too brief in my initial question, and thanks for the array help... I'm very new to all of this (as you can tell.)
