ramlight,
Thanks for your post! I'm having the best success with your suggestion, some others caused perl to crash. :(
I pasted the snippet into my script ...
# while not eof
# =============
while ($line = <INPUT>) {
($date, $time, $ampm, $filesize, $filename) = split(" ", $line);
# remove commas from $filesize string
# ===================================
$filesize =~ s/,//;
and it successfully removed the first comma. (below)

The first comma was removed from each number. Now I'm off to perldoc.perl.org to see how I can remove the remaining commas.
Thanks ... Allen.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
