I am sure this is a pretty straightforward answer but I have been looking at this for a while and am drawing a blank... I have a logfile that has some output which I am importing into an manipulating. Specifically I am removing certain words and values that I do not need. That part works fine.

The area that I am having issues with is when I am attempting to merge the variable with another string. Below is my code. Any input/suggestions is greatly appreciated.

This first part of the code runs fine with no issues and produces the output below.

open (LOGFILE, '<//..//..//logname.log');
@data=<LOGFILE>;
foreach $data(@data)
{
$data=~s/up//;
$data=~s/down//;
$data=~tr/849//d;

print $data;
[download]

Output

aaaa
bbbb
cccc
dddd

Here is where I run into issues

$mergedata=$data . ".sh";
print $mergedata;
[download]

This produces the following output

aaaa
.shbbbb
.shcccc
.shdddd
.sh$

I am trying to get the following output
aaaa.sh
bbbb.sh
cccc.sh
dddd.sh

What am I missing here? Again any help is appreciated
