Re: Truncating Filename string

You could try something like this:

while(<DATA>) {
  if($_ =~ m/\/([\w\d\.]+)$/) {
     print "$1\n";
  }
}

__DATA__
/blah/blah/blah/blah/file1.pl
/blah/blah/file2.pl
/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/blah/file3.pl
[download]

This will result in the desired output.

All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted. You said it (so I'm just repeating what you said ;^). `m/\/([\w\d\.]+)$/` [download] Remember that "\w" represents alphanumerics and underscore -- no need to add "\d" to a character class when "\w" is already there. This will result in the desired output. ... for the three examples provided, but not for file names that contain dashes, plus-signs, tildes, colons, ... Better not to try to match the file name content (since you don't need to).	[reply] [d/l]
