Is there a generally accepted way to get the "base" of a filename, i.e. strip off the multi-letter extension without using any modules? I've been doing something like this:
$fname = shift; $fname =~ s/\.[^.]+$//; It feels a little hokey, though. Maybe it's just me. TIA. - B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
