Definitely not something one > should rely on... and the way a '-' is treated is at least questionable it perfectly makes sense to not treat it as a negative prefix when incrementing serial numbers like 'abc-001-746', this should still result in 'abc-001-747' but at least as the very first character in a string it should be treated as part of the number to increment so that "$a='-1'; $a++" would result in 0, not -2, as reported in the orignal bug message -- Hartmut Holzgraefe hartmut@six.de http://www.six.de +49-711-99091-77 fax:-99
