Thank you. I do want to note that my code didn't show up properly and the while() isn't empty as it seems.
However, you, being a wise perl wisdom-giver have correctly figured out what it actually contains. Just for grins, here it is again with the code tags:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
$home="/home/epcom";
$log="$home/access-mc";
$savelog="$home/log/access-mc";
open (LOGF,"$log") || die "[45]Open Error $log";
open (SAVEF,">>$savelog") || die "[45]Open Error $savelog";
close (SAVEF);
open (SAVEF,"$savelog");
while (<SAVEF>) {
$last=$_ if eof();
# holding me up until Enter is pressed at the eof()
}
close (SAVEF);
$lineno = 0;
if ($last =~ /^....*/) {
chop $last;
while (<LOGF>) {
if (m/\Q$last/) {
$lineno = $.;
}
}
}
close (LOGF);
open (SAVEF,">>$savelog");
open (LOGF,"$log");
while (<LOGF>) {
print SAVEF if ($. > $lineno && ! /\.jpg|\.gif/ ) ;
}
close (SAVEF);
close (LOGF);
exit 0;
Thanks very much. I will follow up on your excellent suggestions and no doubt get the script working soon. Using eof() was the only way I knew to get the last line of the file. Thanks for pointing me to the better methods.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
