That code does work ... Perhaps you just missed the timestamp because there's no endline?
[me@host me]$ cat C:\\temp\\testtmp.tmp ABCD_060824010101.DAT EFGH_060824010101.DAT HIJK_060824010101.DAT 060824010101[me@host me]$
in the spirit of TMTOWTDI:
my $valuFileName="ABCD_060824010101.DAT"; my $distFileName="EFGH_060824010101.DAT"; my $tranFileName="HIJK_060824010101.DAT"; my $tmp_file="/tmp/testtmp.tmp"; my ($busnDate) = $valuFileName =~ /_(\d{12})/; open(TMP_FILE, ">", $tmp_file) or die "failed to write '$tmp_file': + $!\n"; print TMP_FILE join("\n", $valuFileName, $distFileName, $tranFileNa +me, $busnDate); close TMP_FILE;
