Hi-

my $file=$x;
$file=~s/$path//;

How can I do this in one line?

-TIA!

I don't know WHY you need to do it on one line, but you can do it like this:

my $file=$x, $file=~s/$path//;

hi-

i really was looking for a quicker method to do the two steps with one step.

maybe something like:

my $file= ($x =~ s/$path/);

... ?

you could also do it like this:

my ($file) = ($x =~ /$path(.*)/);

$x is not affected. (-:

 

[Coderifous]

my($file = $x) =~ s/$path//;

There... is that what you are looking for?
$file gets the value of $x and then $file has $path stripped out. $x stays unaltered.

Hope this helps,
