Hi Monks,

This post is an extention of earlier post.

I have a file name like - 20130101Customer100.imp , now I need to truncate 20130101 from the file name.

based on the solutions offered from earlier post, I made it as,

$file =~ s/^\D*\d+// ;

which gave me 'Customer100' after removing the extention (.imp)

Okay...now the problem is - I need to insert some timestamp between 'Customer' and '100'.

It should look like Customer_<TimeStamp>_100. I can get the timestamp, but not sure how to fit it in that string.

Please help me.....!!!!

Thanks in advance.
