PERL HELP

#1

I need to get a subsring of the name of a file opened through @argv. I
need the first letter of the name of the file, but it needs to be able to
come from any directory.

I need just the file name part, not the directory information.

Can anyone help?

@sources = @ARGV; # save what was passed

foreach $source (@sources) {

$the_variable_i_want = subsr($source, 0, 1);

}

Its been a while since I’ve been around Perl syntax (Go PHP!), but… I’m
assuming that @sources includes the full directory, for example,
/foo/bar/ho/ho/what.conf. You could split the text between the /'s (into
$source[]), and then use $var = substr($source[-1],0,1);

Yeah. wound up doing that. had to think for a few mins. Mac Perl has some
really strange quirks.
