in reply to Search for file using element of path as file name

Please put your code between <code> and </code> as describe in the site documentation and as I mentioned to you two or three times in the chatterbox. Your <s and >s seem to be getting stripped from your code because you aren't quoting your code the proper way.

    Huh? Actually, nowhere in this post did I use the < or > symbols. Please refer to "page source" if your browser supports it. I HAVE been using tags to display code, again as evidenced by my post. Please tell me what's wrong with the way it is displayed, and I will happily change my evil ways.

      Did you read your own posting? It contained this: 

      "Enter date of config file using : ";  
chomp ( $date_cfg = );

      If you didn't use < nor > then your code is seriously broken and won't even compile. It seemed clear that your second line was originally something like: 

      chomp ( $date_cfg = <STDIN> );

      And having such things stripped is only one consequence of you ignoring simple instructions. Try the "d/l code" link under your posting. It doesn't download any code, does it? I was quite specific in mentioning <code> and </code> tags. I'm sorry I didn't take the time to explain in detail why I recommended what I did.

        Thanks for pointing that out! I didn't notice that. But, that's what happens when you sit in front of a computer for 3 days straight, learning to program, learning Perl, writing a program for a sadistic boss! From now on: tags!
