Actually, my code is something like this: print "\n\n\nPLEASE ENTER REQUIRED .LOG FILE:"; $file = <STDIN>; chomp ($file); open (INFILE1, "$file");
So how can I use the $file variable to be splitted from its *.log and then subsequently using it for appending to a "$file_temp.txt" format? Coz when i print the $file, it gives me "xxx.log", which i actually want. But i only want the front portion "xxx" and not the ".log" later when i create new files like 'xxx_temp.txt'. Pls advise, thanks.
