Or, to mirror the constraints in the OP's regex: `m{^.* / ([\w-]+) / .\.txt}x` [download] Also, the form: `my $dir; $dir = $1 if ##regex_here##` [download] is a good idiom to become familiar with. Updates:* 2005-08.Aug-22 : fixed short-sighted error tlm points out below. I keep getting bit on that. ;-) <-radiant.matrix-> Larry Wall is Yoda: there is no `try{}` (ok, except in Perl6; way to ruin a joke, Larry! ;P) The Code that can be seen is not the true Code "In any sufficiently large group of people, most are idiots" - Kaa's Law	[reply] [d/l] [select]
