Re: Deciphering $data

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I suspect the answer is that you need to use double quotes (") to interpolate the contents of $data into the string you are building. I'd do it like:

my $data_brf = "$data_dir\\$data\.brf";

I suggest you copy and paste the code I gave earlier. It is not what you implied I suggested. Consider: `use strict; use warnings; my $data_dir = 'c:\\Wibble'; my $data = 'Plonk'; my $data_brf = "$data_dir\\$data\.brf"; print "$data_brf\n";` [download] Prints: `c:\Wibble\Plonk.brf` [download] If that is not what you want you better show us the contents of $data_dir and $data, and show us what you expect to see printed.
