I have a string that I want to seperate individual parts; for example in the below string I want the 196 and 21. <a href="javascript:clist(196,'21')"> I can do this using sub and then modifying the strings. Is there anyway to do this simply and easily? Something like : \([0-9]+,'[0-9]+'\) An array would be O.K. -- Kurt --- There is no good and evil; there is only power.
