Re: Re: foreach inside print

Thank you very much!
I though i was using $_ already but i mistaken used $file,
Another problem is that i want to get rid of all the paths in front of the filenames. so the user can see only the filename it self. All files are stored inside the array @files like this: Can a substitute operator be applied to an array it slef or it can only be used in single variebles.

@files = <../data/texts/*.txt>;
$file  = $files[int(rand(@files))];
[download]

now the filenames is like this:
../data/texts/filename1.txt
../data/texts/filename2.txt
../data/texts/filename3.txt
../data/texts/filename4.txt
../data/texts/filename5.txt
and so on
can i use a s/// operator to get rid of the paths?

You can do it with a substitution, but that's not really a good idea, and difficult to make portable. Instead, use `File::Basename`, and the `basename` or `dirname` methods.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
