Hi Gang, I have a document with numbered paragraphs, the numbers to the far left of each paragraph. Is there a perl s/NNN/<B>NNN/</B><BR>/g means I can use from the CL or as a script to make this doc more easy (for me) to read. The document is formatted like this: 1 Paragraph1. 2 Paragraph2. ... 29 Paragraph29. ... 747 Paragraph747. I would like it to be like this: <B>1</B><BR> Paragraph1. <B>2</B><BR> Paragraph2. ... <B>29</B><BR> Paragraph29. ... <B>747</B><BR> Paragraph747. I've used perls subsitiution as a simple command line script dozens of times, but this one (yes, I'm using HTML) is a bit over my head. Can anybody clue me in? thanks in advance, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
