Hi, Im now trying to generate a set of IP addresses, from 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2....upto 192.168.0.254 and then 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2 etc upt 192.168.1.254 and so on. I used the split command but for some reason am unable to transition from 192.168.0.254 to 192.168.1.1. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the code 
 print ("Enter the number of XML files required to be created:");
 $number=<STDIN>;
 
 print ("\nEnter the name of the XML file:");
 $file_name=<STDIN>;
 chomp($file_name);
 
 $xml=".xml"; 
 
 $" = ':';
 for ($i=1; $i<=$number; $i++)
  {
    $files="$file_name$i$xml";
    open(FILE, ">$files") or die "Can't open the file: $i\n";
    $first="SCS";
    $leading = sprintf("%07d", $i);   
    $firstname="$first$leading";
    print FILE "\n  <firstname>$firstname</firstname> ";
     
    $mac = sprintf("%012d", $i);      
    @split = ($mac =~ /../g);   
 
    $ip=sprintf("192168%06d",$i);
 
    @splitip= ($ip =~ /.../g);
    @splitipfinal= join('.', @splitip) . "\n";

    print FILE "\n  <name>NEW - @split</name> ";

    print FILE "\n  <ipaddress>@splitipfinal</ipaddress> ";

}
print "\nThe XMLs have been created, check in the same directory!!";

And Prasad, sorry if I asked. Ive got a ton to do, in a short period of time, with my limited knowledge of perl. I always try before I ask. Thanks anyways... The next time you see me around, dont bother ok!
