Greetings, Is there a way to make Perl truncate a single scalar variable by a given number of characters like the unix cut command can? For example, I have a scalar variable that is 7 characters long, but for another purpose I only want the last 5 characters of this variable. To do this with the unix cut command I would issue the following line:
Echo $variable | cut -c3-7 How can this be done in Perl? Best regards, Rz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
