How can take the value of one variable, substitute say its suffix, and assign it to another? I have only figured out how to do it using an intermediate variable:if ( $code eq "" ){ my $base = $out ; $base =~ s/\.out$/\.cde/ ; $code = $base ; }
Surely: if ($code eq "") { $code = $out ; $code =~ s/\.out$/\.cde/ ; } Or am I missing something? Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
