If you only care for what comes after the first CN, then you could do something like: my $Myfile ; if ( /^CN=([^,]+)/ ) { # collect into $1 everything up to the next ,(in this case EX-MSG-01) $Myfile = $1; }else { # no hit, so do what is necessary here } Wags ;) ********************************************************** This message contains information that is confidential and proprietary to FedEx Freight or its affiliates.
