Thanks Andre. You know, last night I was looking for a good table showing ascii codes. That ascii man page is a nice tip.

I've been spending far too much time trying to accomplish a (seemingly) simple thing: use a Perl substitution operation to replace, a comma followed by a space followed by a single double-quote with a single double-quote.
Octal escapes are one way: perl -pe 's/, \042/\042/g' See the ASCII(7) man page for octal and hex codes. --Andre __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
