That won't do what you expect -- $string is probably ".90" now. $20 is a variable (set by a regex) and is probably undef. You need either '$20.90' or "\$20.90". >$string =~ s/$//; <-- I figured this would work fine? No; $ is the end-of-string anchor in a regex. Use s/\$// instead, or tr/$//d. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ ** Look for "Regular Expressions in Perl" published by Manning, in 2002 ** <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
