Hi Melanie If it's regex you wanna use, here it is :
$fullpath = '/usr/local/home/mel/file.txt'; $fullpath =~ /(.*)\/(.*)\.(.*)/; $path = $1; $file = $2; $ext = $3; -aman. -----Original Message----- From: Melanie Rouette [mailto:mrouette@;omnisig.com] Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 8:49 PM To: beginners Subject: reg ex question Hi, I have something like: /usr/local/home/mel/file.txt and I'd like to strip it so that I can put the path in a variable, the file name in another one and the extention in a another one as well. How do I do that, can I do it all in a same expression. Something like, $path = /usr/local/home/mel, $filename = file and finally $ext = txt. Thanks in advance.
