hey,

check if particular doctor files are came and allotted that files to particular users.

I'm unable to understand what you meant here. Also I think the doctor id you provided was 2 0's short of the actual doctor id?

In regards to splitting the filename to retrieve the "doctor id", you could simply use the split function:

Code

   
my $filename = 'N 0824-003 908000000 02 237144 .vox';  
my ($part1, $part2, $doctorid, $part4, $part5, $extension) = split /\s+/, $filename;  
print "$doctorid\n";

to split the doctor id from a string like
my $string = "N 0824-003 908000000 02 237144 .vox"

code:
my $doc_id = ( split(/\s+/,$string) )[2];

logic:
take the third element of the list returned by split in list context.
