in thread appending a variable

Hi,

After removing the inside braces, there is no error. However, I am not seeing the value of $opstr added to YYYmmddHHMMSS. It should be YYYmmddHHMMSS00 in this case. PMOSS_P3_SIPNBVQM_5MIN_OHDR_20220428221115__31571.processing should be PMOSS_P3_SIPNBVQM_5MIN_OHDR_2022042822111500__31571.processing $INSTANCE is something which the server adds and in this case it is 31571.

my ($opstr) = $vmstr =~ /-(\d\d)$/; #using the value of $vmstr of +the VM but with an added 0 my $OPinst = "/PMOSS_SIPNBVQM_5MIN_OHDR_$YYYYmmddHHMMSS$opstr"; my $P3inst = "/PMOSS_P3_SIPNBVQM_5MIN_OHDR_$YYYYmmddHHMMSS$opstr" +; $FN_OUTPUT = "$DST_DIR${OPinst}_${INSTANCE}_$$"; # Suff +ixes added later: .processing .completed $FN_P3_OUTPUT ="$DST_DIR${P3inst}_${INSTANCE}_$$"; # Suf +fixes added later: .processing .completed

    Try this case:

    use strict; use warnings; my $vmstr = "-1"; my $ymmv = "Mileage "; my ($opstr) = $vmstr =~ /-(\d\d)$/; print "$ymmv'$opstr'\n";

    What do you expect should happen. What actually happens. How does it relate to your issue?

    You might like to try without strictures first (comment out the first two lines).

    my ($opstr) = $vmstr =~ /-(\d\d)$/; will result in an undefined value for $opstr because there is only one digit after the "-" instead of 2 digits.
    Better: >my ($opstr) = $vmstr =~ /-(\d+)$/;

    Why are you ignoring the warnings and errors that Perl is printing out?

    Always put:

    use strict; use warnings;
    at the top of your script.
      Hi,

      my ($opstr) = $vmstr =~ /-(\d+)$/; works well! Previously, it was PMOSS_P3_SIPNBVQM_5MIN_OHDR_20220429132424 and now I see the 0 added correctly at the end, PMOSS_P3_SIPNBVQM_5MIN_OHDR_202204291324240 Suppose, if i need to display PMOSS_P3_SIPNBVQM_5MIN_OHDR_202204291324240 as PMOSS_P3_SIPNBVQM_5MIN_OHDR_2022042913242400 or PMOSS_P3_SIPNBVQM_5MIN_OHDR_2022042913242401, how do I modify, even if there is only one digit after the "-"?

        It's an FAQ!
