Re^3: Creating a new file in a directory

chomp does not remove all whitespace from the end of a string. I recommend that you be more explicit and use:

$mycrdir =~ s!\s*$!!;

Also, what is the error message your OS gives you in $! when creating the file fails?

Yes, that means you have a newline in `$mycrdir`. This is because you read `$mycrdir` from the user and that readline includes the final newline as entered by the user. You could have shown this part of your code as well to make it more obvious that `$mycrdir` is read from the outside.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

That helped a lot. Thanks a lot. Issue is resolved. The variable was a input which was used in different section. Hence, it was not included.	[reply]
