Have you tried anything yet? I know that you're new here, so I'll point out that you should always post the code that you've tried or at least state what you've researched to try to solve the problem yourself. Often, you won't get a response at all and you'll take some flack by not showing that you've made some sort of effort yourself.

Here is one way to remove what you want removed, assuming that what is being removed will always be in the same position:

use warnings; use strict; my $str = 'RcdA|CON|139|||Kan|13|J|J|607|abc@gmail.com'; $str =~ s/(.*)\|.*/$1/; print "$str\n";
