First of all, I want to thank you all for your help. This is awesome! You guys have come through for me every time I have asked for help and I appreciate it! So thank you very much and I am tipping my hat to all of you.
And, yes it was for testing purposes, and at first I thought I may need to parse it by the type of lot# it was. But that was for nought. The main thing I do with Perl right now is change stuff I have to work in new situations, I get stuck alot while trying to learn. My mentor here at work left a while back and we dont use perl as much anymore so there has been no need for this until now when I write simple scripts to do some mundane stuff. I kind fo wish there was more need and i had the time to really get down and learn it.
Anyways, enough of that, I did have another question. Could one of you write out in words what the below line is saying? Or point me to a good site that will tell me?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link or
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
