Yes, it does. But it does not work when reading from a variable. my $temp = '*997*'; print 'Deleted ' , unlink (<$temp>) , ' files.\n'; This very simple variation of your example does not work. The problem is that I have to read from a file and put the value from the file into a variable. Although your "hard coded" example does work, it doesn't work for a value read in from an external file and into a variable. Any other ideas? I am all ears and out of ideas. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
