This should be really simple, just use a regexp to remove the 4 last letters from a
variable.
$variable =~ /\S\S\S\S$/;
print $variable;
but this doesnt remove the 4 last letters when i run it, i think i am just getting
tired here and cant see why, what is the right way to do it? :)

Dave,
I did it this way
$variable = substr($orig_variable,0,length($orig_variable)-2);
I actually only removed the last 2 characters but I don't see why you
could not put a 4 and remove last four..
I am sort of new at perl but I did get the above to work. I needed
to drop off 2

This just checks if your patter \S... matches with the
contents of $variable.
This should be $variable =~ s/\S\S\S\S$//
$var =~ s/.{4}$//;
