I posted what I thought was the correct string and I am not asking for someone to do my homework. Anyway... life is too short for this.

Based on which exactly part of official Perl documentation you think your string is correct ?

Hello fusion1275,

I've tested the code grail provided, it works for me. If it isn't working for you you should provide the your whole code.

Please note that Perl is all about regular expressions and hashes, if you don't learn either of them you will never be able to write or understand Perl-code.

I cordially suggest that http://www.perlmonks.org might be a more productive place to ask Perl-specific questions. It is a site expressly dedicated to that purpose and to that language.

Welcome. (In advance...)

Moderator note: The rude approach was not necessary here. I contacted Sergei offline. Please return to the original problem, if possible.

Thanks for that Mara

@OP - I will have to be with Markus here in that if it did not work you may need to show us what you are doing as the test works for me when calling a script with a argument
with either '.txt' included or missing (ie it make the decision based on this)
