To be certain, I tried it, but it doesn't give me the first field of a split. Did you mean:

    [split /_/, $b]->[0]

Even shorter (and faster) is: `(split /_/, $b)[0]` - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply] [d/l]

That shall learn me to pay attention when doing `print some_expr`.... `print (split)[0];` failed on me, but of course I should have tested `print +(split)[0];`. Aargg! Jeroen "We are not alone"(FZ)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
