It should and does work fine in XP's cmd shell. `>perl -p -e "s\|(.?)\.(\w\w\w),\|iif([month]>,$1.$2,0) as $2\|" temp.txt iif([month]>,[01-estimate].jan,0) as jan iif([month]>,[01-estimate].feb,0) as feb iif([month]>,[01-estimate].mar,0) as mar iif([month]>,[01-estimate].apr,0) as apr >perl -p -e "s/(.?)\.(\w\w\w),/iif([month]>,$1.$2,0) as $2/" temp.txt iif([month]>,[01-estimate].jan,0) as jan iif([month]>,[01-estimate].feb,0) as feb iif([month]>,[01-estimate].mar,0) as mar iif([month]>,[01-estimate].apr,0) as apr` [download] Tested with with ActivePerl 5.6.0, 5.6.1, 5.8.0, 5.8.8, 5.10.0	[reply] [d/l]
