concatenating a new filename with existing name plus string 1

[starlite79]

Hi,

I have an $infile variable defined and am creating a statistics file with the string "-stats" at the end.

For example, one infile is data.source and the statsfile is defined as $statsfile = $infile . -stats;

On my RHEL machine the result is what I want:

data.source-stats

However, I'm attempting the same thing on a HP-Unix machine and the result is data.source0

How do I correct this on the HP Unix machine?

try

$statsfile = $infile . [red]"[/red]-stats[red]"[/red];

I have noticed no real differences between HP-UX and RHEL perl. I would go over your code or post more code here as I would think it is a code proble move a OS problem.

Thanks audiopro(Keith). The double quotes did the trick.
