Hi Monks, I just subscribed here a few minutes ago seeking for help >< I am recently getting into perl for my work since a couple of weeks now. And like not super smart people, there is at least a first time when we need help for something dump ... The problem I'm into is this :

As parameters of a command that I created with perl, the user enter an interface name of a cisco router and his IP adress, then I put them an a variable like $ip = 192.168.1.1 and $interface = POS1/0/0

Now what I want to do is to create a .txt file as follow : $filename = "$ip--$interface.txt" but without "/" (obviously). As a result I should have a file named : 192.168.1.1--POS100.txt

In short, how can I change $interface = "POS1/0/0" into $interface = "POS100" ??

Looks simple saying like this but I really need help in this. Thank you very much for your time and help ^^
