Thanks Peter,
this works, but now PERL won't
allow me to make the directory
to copy the files in.
I am using mkdir("$directory",0777).
Any idea why?
thanks,
John

Do a SPLIT on the string using the "\" as the character to split by.
This gives you an array @ of values.
use the POP function to remove the last value from the array, which would be
the filename.
Then stick it all back together.
sorry no 'samples' thats the fun part of learning :-)
Buy a copy of PERL for dummies !! its a great reference that I use a LOT.

Hi,
would you know how to strip off
the file name on the end?
'F:\new\new\test\test'
Trying but unsuccessfull.
thanks,
John

Nope, sorry that works for me. I get 'F:\new\new\test\test' as the result.
