Re^2: Regular expression and rename file help

Thankyou for the explanation, the rename function was not working as i had not closed the filehandler, i did not notice it at first but then figured it out. i was actually trying to build a small parser for the file. and perl was the easiest scripting language to learn. i went on to extract some parameters at first and try to run the program, will try to continue with more parameters. thank you again :)

and perl was the easiest* scripting language to learn.* Fine to know you solved your problem, whatever it was. But are you sure of what you're saying?!? Don't misunderstand me, I love Perl - and I dislike the line-noise-reputation it unfortunately has in certain circles. But I wouldn't catalogue it as "easy" so... easily. As another side note, since it seems that quite a lot of people had difficulties to understand your post, may I suggest you to read How do I post a question effectively??	[reply]
