works good now: my $file_to_print = ( `ls -1c /test/*log | tail -1 `);
print "file_to_print: $file_to_print"; open (FILE, "< /test/$file_to_print") or die "Could not open file_to_print $: $!"; although the third line is not opening the file. It prints out good but but I get an error while opening the file.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
