Re: accessing a part of a string

You want everything but a part of the string? You could play with this and alter it as needed:

my $string = 'some/very/varied_length/string';

my $subs = substr( $string, 0, length($string) - 6 );
say $subs;

Don't forget to add the OFFSET portion of substr.

`substr( $string, 0, length($string) - 6 );` can also be written as `substr( $string, 0, -6 );` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
