I'm confused...according to your first post: >$list =~ s|$name||; # remove $name from the list if it's in the list >$list =~ s|//|/|; # if $name was in the middle of the list, it would have >left behind two /s, remove one >$list =~ s|^/||; # if $name was at the front of the list, remove the leading / >$list =~ s|/$||; # if $name was at the end of the list, remove the trailing / By rule 3 you should have a preceeding / and by rule 4 you should have an ending / Therefore, your list should always look like: /x/y/z/ Is this not the case?
