Are you on Unix or on Windows? On Unix, the shell would interpolate `$f` in double quoted strings, so it's usually easier to use single quotes for Perl one-liners... OTOH, on Windows you'd have to use double quotes, as single quotes don't work (as quotes) with the standard shell...	[reply] [d/l]

Try executing as below `perl -i.bak -ne"print if "\$f" \|\|= /1\.0/" file` [download] In unix the shell interprets the $f. So you were unable to execute. --Lakshmanan G. The great pleasure in my life is doing what people say you cannot do.	[reply] [d/l]
