Hi all, say that
$directory = "C:\\directory\\*.*" and I am trying to remove the *.* from the end using $directory = trim($directory); where trim is sub trim { my( $result) = @_; $result =~ s/^\s+(.*?)\s+$/$1/; $result =~ s/\s//g; return $result; } Can anybody point me out why it is not working? TIA Jair
