So if I type in my $file ="home/test/sever/default/test.log.2005.03.04"; That should work ? I don't need to change to the Test directory from home ?	[reply]

Correct. As long as the directory you run the script from has home as a directory underneath it. As a side note, use full paths unless there is a very good reason not to. It makes your life much easier.	[reply]

But my directory that I'm in does not have Home underneath it, it has nothing underneath it. That's my problem I'm trying to access a directory but am unable to do cd to go back to the root directory and then open the file.	[reply]
