Hi,

Based on a reply to my earlier question, I have an issue. I have a a variable, $FN_OUTPUT 

$FN_OUTPUT          = "$DST_DIR/XXX_SIPABCD_5MIN_OHR_${YYYYmmddHHMMSS}
+_${INSTANCE}_$$";         # Suffixes added later: .processing .comple
+ted

I need to modify the above as

$FN_OUTPUT          = "$DST_DIR/XXX_SIPABCD_5MIN_OHR_${YYYYmmddHHMMSS}ss_${INSTANCE}_$$";         # Suffixes added later: .processing .completed

where ss will be the VM instance added This is my code, thanks to previous tips on this site

my $vmstr = "zldcdyh1bdce2d14-xxx-vccpohr-correlator-0";
my ($opstr) = $vmstr =~ /-(\d\d)$/;    #using the value of $vmstr of t
+he VM but with an added 0

my $OPinst = “/PMOSS_SIPNBVQM_5MIN_OHDR_${YYYYmmddHHMMSS}ss”;

But I am not sure how to use the $opstr in 

$FN_OUTPUT          = "$DST_DIR/XXX_SIPABCD_5MIN_OHR_${YYYYmmddHHMMSS}
+ss_${INSTANCE}_$$"; 

Is it as

$FN_OUTPUT          = "$DST_DIR/XXX_SIPABCD_5MIN_OHR_${YYYYmmddHHMMSS}
+$opstr_${INSTANCE}_$$";

if it is VM=0 then FN_OUTPUT          = "$DST_DIR/XXX_SIPABCD_5MIN_OHR_${YYYYmmddHHMMSS}00_${INSTANCE}_$$"; or if VM =1, then FN_OUTPUT          = "$DST_DIR/XXX_SIPABCD_5MIN_OHR_${YYYYmmddHHMMSS}01_${INSTANCE}_$$";
