Re: Regex output incorrect

my $folder_path = "/aboutiso/corp_gov/bod/agendas/2010/";
    my $try = "index.html";
    my $test = "$folder_path/$try";
    $folder_path =~ s#/\w+/[^/]*.\w+$##;
    print "folderpath: $folder_path\n";

folderpath: /aboutiso/corp_gov/bod/agendas/2010/

If u are trying to knock off the final dir in folder_path then ur regex makes no sense. It looks like u want to knock off the file name and one dir from $test.

my $folder_path = "/aboutiso/corp_gov/bod/agendas/2010/";
    my $try = "index.html";
    my $test = "$folder_path/$try";
    print "folderpath: $test\n";
    $test =~ s{/+\w+/+\w+\.\w+$}{};
    print "folderpath: $test\n";
^D
folderpath: /aboutiso/corp_gov/bod/agendas/2010//index.html
folderpath: /aboutiso/corp_gov/bod/agendas
