You're passing the 5 character string $,f,i,l,e. You surely intended to pass the contents of the variable `$file` instead.	[reply] [d/l]

From the error itself you can see that, it tries to open '$file'. parsefile($file) should clear this error. Regards, Murugesan Kandasamy use perl for(;;);	[reply]
