Or, it could be that the email addresses are in the source as &# characters - that is a common way of avoiding being picked up by a scraper finding email addresses to send spam. Use chr to translate.	[reply]

... Does that work too Not directly... but there's `split`, various looping constructs, `map`, `unpack`, regexes, and what not in Perl :) What exactly does your string of ASCII values look like?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
