Hi, since you split on ':' which is after .log, `$ip =~ s/\.log$//;` [download] will do the trick. Regards, svenXY	[reply] [d/l]

As clarification of what's been said elsewhere, you are testing the wrong element of the `split` ... to use your original code, change `$model =~ s/\.log$//; die if $model =~ /log/;` [download] to read `$ip =~ s/\.log$//; die if $ip =~ /log/;` [download] A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You're trying to strip '.log' of $model, where clearly you want to strip it of $ip. -- b10m	[reply]

Hmm. What is obvious, i dont understand a word. Am I too silly? What is the failure? Or is there another context i might have missed? Thanks MH	[reply]

The OP replaced his original question with this meaningless reply to other replies. Hopefully the Janitors restore the original content.	[reply]
