Perl is unnecessary for this. There is the basename utility: > basename http://server.com/path/to/sourcefile-2.3.4.tar.bz
yields sourcefile-2.3.4.tar.bz or, for the full functionality of the perl script: > for f in $(cat urls); do basename $f; done Sources.bz2 Packages.bz2 sourcefile-2.3.4.tar.bz I prefer this to the perl line-noise incantation :-) Cheers, Carl.
