Re^2: Checking number in file name

Yes, it will be at that start of the file name but no underscore will be part of the file name:

my $filename = "000231263444_01_XY_20130110_061717.txt";
#after getting it with reg exp.
my $accountnumber = '000231263444';

Splitting is probably better for you than using a regex. Especially if you later want to do something with the other parts of the filename, too. `my ( $accountnumber, $part2, $part3, $part4, $part5, $extension ) = sp +lit /[_.]/, $filename;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
