Great that worked. Here's another question. How can I pad a variable with zeros going from right to left? I used chomp on the sub string but it removes the values. Anyone have any ideas? `my $checknum = "0000000" . substr($source, 18, 12);` [download] Thanks, Dave	[reply] [d/l]

Maybe this is what you're looking for: `# left-pad with zeros, total length of 21 my $checknum = sprintf("%021d", $source);` [download] See sprintf.	[reply] [d/l]
