Here's my code when I actually hard code the '7R', yet it still fails.
+  I must be missing something else? <br>


<code> my ($product, $year, $month, $day, $hour, $suffix, $ver ) = spl
+it /\./, $fileName;

# test file name--naming convention is '<product>.<year>.<month>.<day>
+.<hour>.bin' 

if ($fileName =~ /3B4[0|1|2]RT\.\d{10}\.\7R\.bin/) { 
   ($product, $year, $month, $day, $hour, $ver) = 
      ($fileName =~ /(3B4.RT)\.(\d{4})(\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d)\.(7R\)\.bin/)
+;
      $version = sprintf "%03d", $ver; # a little confusing, $version 
+is global
                                       # $ver is local
}
elsif ($fileName =~ /3B4\dRT\.\d\d\d\d\.\d\d\.\d\d.\d\dz\.bin/) {
    ($product, $year, $month, $day, $hour, $suffix) = split /\./, $fil
+eName;
}
else {
    print STDERR "($0,$$) ERROR:  invalid file name--'$fileName'\n" if
+ $opt_v;
    exit 2;
}
