Sorry guess I could have been a little more clear. &nbsp;This will take the value of $string and replace a the white space characters for null (efectivly removing them) but it will perform the subtitution directly on $string. &nbsp;If you want to preserve $string do this:<br />
<br />
($new_string = $string) =~ s/\s//g;<br />
<br />
This copies $string to $new_string and then does the substitution on $new_string, preserving $string.

string parsing in perl

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
