I have a line: i.like.donuts.but.only.with.tea now I want to remove everything that follows the last "." including the last ".".
in this case ".tea" I hav absulte no idea. I tried something like: @parts = splite /\./, $line; $parts[-1] = undef; foreach $parts (@parts) { $newline .= "$parts."; } but then I got a dot at the end of the line.
