Hi Guys,

This seams to have solved the problem:

print "$f" "$typ1"

It was a quotation problem...

Thanks for your help Smilie

try

print *

in the current directory ...

You will understand the reason for the weird results.

as Perderabo suggested enclose those variable $f and $typ1 in double quotes.

as

print "$f $typ1"
