Hi,
Can you please assist. I am stuck on a regex again. my $dir = "/user/IPlib/and/many/other/dirs"; $dir =~ s!/[^/]*\z!!; Will make : $dir = "/user/IPlib/and/many/other"; ## so it takes off the last dir But how do I let it make : $dir = "/IPlib/and/many/other/dirs"; ## But now on the first dir Can't find my way on regex.
