Hi all Before you all attack me for asking so stupid a question (:-) - I better say I am VERY new to Perl - actually this is my first week. Ok here it comes - my problem: I have a FORM (on a HTML-page on a server). I get all the right info to my CGI (if I output it on a page I can read all that is expected) - but now I would very much like to extract a filename from a path. >From the FORM I could (It is user-input) get : $File = "C:\Work\texts\document1.txt" (From PC) or $File = "Harddisk:Work:texts:document 1" (From Mac) <SNIP> . . $Filename = $File; #Here I would like to get only the filename Fname = ???$Filename??? print("FILE = \"$Fname\""); . . <SNIP> I am running the CGI as ACGI on a Web* server and pre made scripts run fine. I know it must be simple, but as said I am very new, so any hints would be very appreciated. Lot of thanks in advance.
