one more question on this.. suppose there is 3 files in temp directory /tmp/yahoo1 /tmp/yahoo2 /tmp/yahoo3 and I wanted to take the last file that was created.. would this work? my $filename = shift; my @file_1 = </tmp/$filename*>; my $file_1 = $file_1[-1]; push @files, $file_1; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
