Hi, I have the following format of data in a text file. I can successfully read it from the file ___________________________________________________________
-rw-r--r-- 1 next users 2153 Jan 1 10:50 mytake_120.115.152.136.csv
___________________________________________________________
I want to extract "120.115.152.136" and use it so I wrote the following script.
_________________________________________________________ 
use strict;
use warnings;

print "\nEnter the Model 1\n";
my $Model_Name1= <STDIN>;
chomp $Model_Name1;

open (DATA, "< C:/Perl_Scripts/InputFile.txt"); 
my @array_of_data = <DATA>;
close (DATA);

foreach my $line (@array_of_data)
{
  
if ( $line =~ m/\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.csv$/g )

{
      print "Match $1";
}
}

As I have said earlier, I want to extract "120.115.152.136", hence I am using the regex. It just prints "Match" but also gives an error Use of uninitialized value $_ in pattern match (m//) at C:\Perl_Scripts\Compare.pl line 31. Any Help will be much appreciated. Regards Vivek
