[plug] Re: Mailing List problems

[J. Richard Mortimer]

Hi Joong,

In your original post you extracted the information from the database via a
Perl program; when you have the $email variable, you can strip the
delimiting strings by adding the line:

$email =~ s/\"//g;

This may solve your immediate problem without having to write back to the
database. You can read a small article on the substitute command here:

Hope that helps

Richard

Do you have any idea on how I can undelimit my email addresses in the 
database, or would I have to ask an SQL expert?
