Hi Frns ,

I am reading one file,which contains the usernames

which start with (ipw.a to z ..)

In my perl program,I am opening the file and reading

all names to one hash.

now while processing those users i would like to skip

if the username satrts with (ipw\.09a-q) like

next if $username =~ /ipow\.0-9a-q/i;

then my question is

i want to skip the username starts with

ipw.ra(atoz)...

ipw.rb(bto z)...

..............

............... like

ipw.rp(ptoz).........

it should not skip

ipw.rrwgorga

ipw.rsdgfg to ipw.s...,ipw.t...,ipw.u.........

ipw.z....

please give regular expression or solution for this.

Thanks
