i'd like to take a couple of strings to concatonate to a path... here's my start the code:::
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use diagnostics; my $date = `date`; #not sure about redirecting output to $path! $date=~s/( ){3}/; #i think this is proper to just take the string #up to the third whitespace character... my $filename = append_date_to_rest_of_filename(); #the end :) ----------------------------- willy http://www.hackswell.com/corenth thanks :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
