Thanks a lot - I have set up an alias to make my life easier.
I am wondering how you would use the VB equivalents of Left$ and Right$ with
perl.
For example I have 'ABCDEFGH' and I want to get the right three letters:
Right('abcdefgh',3) = 'fgh'
Left can be done with substring (x,0) I am sure, but what about right?
Thanks again,
tim
