I don't want to be back to two lines; it's a pride thing :-) % be two lines, so how about this: @working = m'/mp3(/[^/]+)+';? Let's see what this does here, because it might point to the right track. I'd love to be able to @working = split ( /\//, $fullname-without-/mp3/-on-it ) and so is there a way to spit out $fullname but suppress the ^/mp3/ part, remembering that we can't actually change $fullname in the process? % % Also, I think File::Basename might help you (perldoc -f, *hint hint* % :-). I'll check it out :-) Hmmm...

Hokay, the camel book tells me a bit about it. I'm not sure how it will help me; I can get dirname out of it but that's the whole path, and I can get basename out of it but that's no biggie, and I don't see how it will pull /mp3/ off for me, and I don't need (well, yet) to worry about a suffix.
