in thread A Hash that is giving me the ####s

Egads!! My bad AnomalousMonk, and much thanks; I had not noticed that about [] -- looks like I have a few scripts to grep thru and correct. Heh-heh. I've also changed the above post. Point being:

s/\s|\t//g;

Is more or less equivalent to:

s/[\s\t]//g;

Whereas:

s/[\s|\t]//g;

Contains that subtle flaw with the pipe. (But again, just \s will do in this case anyway.)
