in reply to perl can find the file but can not open the file

Please, show the actual error message. There should be a colon and an additional text. Also, the name of the file probably has not lost the "complete_" part.

Update: Single quotes do not interpolate. Use double quotes if you want a variable to be expanded.

    Thank you. I have updated the messages to reflect the correct output. I have tried without success to copy from the terminal to this web page so I have just been typing in the code information and I do make mistakes when I do that. I did that in my last post as well. With my apologies; Sherman
