in reply to Unable to concatinate a Path to the array elements, which will have the values as return values from sunroutine

Your subroutine never inserts anything into an array, so nothing is returned by report() and stored in @array. Also, while your reverse-chop-reverse may be good kung-fu, it's much easier to substr($line,1,8) to get rid of the '#' at the beginning. Further, the substr means you don't need the chomp.

use strict; use warnings; my $path = "/efsprod/docmnt/"; my @array = &report(); foreach my $line (@array) { $line = $path . $line; print "$line\n"; } sub report() { open(F,"Textfile.txt") or die "$!\n"; my (@filelist); while(<F>) { push @filelist, substr($_,1,8); } return @filelist; }

Update(s): add path to array elements, not just to print statement. Remembered after that foreach aliases placeholder with array elements so we don't have to replace with C-style for.
