Your first perl script sends '1>>$filename' (single quotes, this is NOT a variable) ... and you want to replace '$filename' with the contents of the variable $filename?
If I have that correct, a regex will help: my $string='1>>$filename'; # This is coming from your first perl script. my $filename='filename.txt'; $string=~s/\$filename/$filename/; # Regex! Escape the $ ... print "$string\n"; Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
