No, you have not done "exactly" as toolic suggested. You're showing us single quotes around the file name. c.f. his line 3 at his first reply. See also any of the standard references re "interpolation."	[reply]

pavanpvss sometimes you are not in the directory that you thought you were in. Try adding the following line to your code and run it before the 'my $filename' line. `map { print $_ . "\n" } <C:\*>;` [download] Then check the output for your file. (note the similarities of the C:\ to your filename call).	[reply] [d/l]
