Hi,

I am looking for an regular expression to match the file name. I got an array which contains file names like:

log4perl.appender1996:06:58:12.General_Information.ErrorLog
log4perl_LogicModules.appender1996:07:56:12CSS.General_Information_hel
+p.ErrorLog

[download]
log4perl.Edition1998:06:56:12.General_Information.ErrorLog
log4perl_Eventsource.Edition1998:06:56:12CSS.General_Information-colle
+ctor_1.ErrorLog

[download]
log4perl.Advanced1999:06:56:12.General_Information.ErrorLog
log4perl.Advanced1999:06:56:12CSS.General_Information-collector-2.Erro
+rLog

[download]

So if i take an example for below files

log4perl.Advanced1999:06:56:12.General_Information.ErrorLog
log4perl.Advanced1999:06:56:12CSS.General_Information-collector-2.Erro
+rLog

[download]

I need an regular expression which matches the format of my files and removes "CSS" after string "Advanced1999:06:56:12CSS" in second file and keep both the files in array.

File name format : <(alphanumericString,_)>.<(alphanumericUniqueIdentifier,.)>.<(alphanumericString2,_,-)>.ErrorLog

<(alphanumericUniqueIdentifier,.)> is appended with constant "CSS" sometimes with alphanumericUniqueIdentifier

So after removing CSS in need below files in array

log4perl.Advanced1999:06:56:12.General_Information.ErrorLog
log4perl.Advanced1999:06:56:12.General_Information-collector-2.ErrorLo
+g

Thanks.
