note blackstarr Hi, just one thing ... line 11 needs to be revised as follows:<P> <CODE> print "\tv\tlower case vowel\n\tV\tupper case vowel\n\tn\tnumber\n\tp\tpunctuation mark\n\ta\tany character\n"; </CODE> <P>Otherwise your default ($numargs == 0) is showing "l" & "L" for vowels as well as letters.<P> Other than that ... I like this ... I'm keeping it!<P> So Long<br> blackstarr 92246 92540
