From: Jason Carlton on 8 Mar 2010 22:03 Every once in awhile, someone will copy and paste into my message board from Word. After it submits through my Perl script, I'll have something like this plugged in: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle- rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso- style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso- padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0in; mso-para- margin-right:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso- ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font- family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;} The fonts and all that are different for each post; the only consistency seems to be that it starts with "Normal 0 false false false", and it ends with a "}". Would something as simple as this be enough to consistently remove it? $comment =~ s/Normal 0 false false false.*?}//gsi; Or is there more to it than I'm thinking?

Sorry if I made that too much to read. Basically, I want to remove "Normal 0 false false false" followed by random stuff, but always ending with }. Will this do it correctly, or will it remove other things that I'm not recognizing? $comment =~ s/Normal 0 false false false.*?}//gsi; TIA, Jason

So, you're saying that you don't know the answer? If so, then why bother replying? Or spending time in a Perl NG, for that matter.
