Hi all,

I am using Solaris, Perl 5.

I am having some problems manipulating strings.

The string I am manipulating is:

/export/home/user/www/doc-root/dir/projects/19463/1_0001.doc

I am trying to take out the "19463" part from the string and insert it into 
a variable.

Example of my code to do this:

$projectId = substr($projectDocDir, length($dir), index($projectDocDir, "/", 
length($dir)));

The $dir variable contains the path 
"/export/home/user/www/doc-root/dir/projects".

When I run my script, the string "1946" is returned, the last "3" is not. 
What am I doing wrong??

Thanks you for your help!!
