Hi All,

Thanks for the help so far!

I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate the uninitialized value errors in my perl code.

When doing the file split:

Code:

# Split Filename From Extention
  my ($base, $ext) = split (/\./, $argFileName);
# Check For File Extension
  $HaveExt = ( ( length $ext ) < 1 ? "Y" : "N" );

I get the following error:
"Use of uninitialized value in length at test.pl line 22.

For some items I may have 2 files that have the same name one with an extention and one without so I'm checking for the extention and using that later to filter the files.

I've tried a bunch of ways to get around this but I always get some form of uninitialized value error.

How can I intialize an uninitialized value?
I've even tried:

Code:

  $ext = "" . $ext;

but that also gets the error.

Thanks, in advance!
