I have a file with a list of subfolders. The list was created using dir and each entry is like thus:
12/12/2005 04:38 AM <DIR> A Perfect Circle I then created a simple script that I hoped would eliminate everything prior to the last bit of text which follows the big space. open FILE, "H:\My Music\folderlist.txt"; foreach my $line (readline FILE) { $line =~ s/^.*\s//g; open FILE2, "H:\My Music\artists.txt"; print FILE2 $line . "\n"; close FILE2; } close FILE; Not only do I think the regex is very wrong, but it isn't doing anything. If I had to guess, it is saying to replacy everything up to the first space with nothing. While this isn't what I want it to do, having it do that would probably be a good step in the right direction. However, it won't even do that. What am I doing wrong here?
