Hello,

I have some images named as

pic001.gif through pic010.gif to pic200.gif

I am not clear how I can use something like

pic$number++

any pointers please!

Cheers

Geoff

Does it have to be a separate "pic" and $number or would it be possible to
increment the file name as a whole?

my $name = "pic001";
for (0..20) {
print $name++ . ".gif\n";
}

my $filename = sprint 'pic%03d.gif', $number++; # untested

Jue,

Thanks for your suggestion below - it made me realise my silly mistake
- I had an initial value of 1 for $number ! When I changed to 0001 all
is well.

Thanks
