in reply to use variable as name for new file

Hi

Welcome to monks. :-)

I assume you are not giving any file path in Subject.

you should add the relative path name while opening the file.

1) check whether $subject is empty or not.
2) check whether the file name already exists or not. 

open ( LOG,">/home/user/log/$subject") or die("Error in opening the fi
+le :$!:");

    Hi Jesuahok Thanks for the reply. I did the above and still is not working. Are there other tricks you can think of to make the above work.
