Hi Kris, What you're looking for is File::Basename. [ovid@ovid ovid]$ perl -MFile::Basename -le 'print basename("/usr/bin/perl")' perl [ovid@ovid ovid]$ perl -MFile::Basename -le 'print dirname("/usr/bin/perl")' /usr/bin Cheers, Ovid ===== "Ovid" on http://www.perlmonks.org/ Someone asked me how to count to 10 in Perl: push@A,$_ for reverse q.e...q.n.;for(@A){$_=unpack(q|c|,$_);@a=split//; shift@a;shift@a if $a[$[]eq$[;$_=join q||,@a};print $_,$/for reverse @A __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
