matching regular expression help (newbie)

[phoenix24x]

hello,

i am attempting to parse the path of a file into 2 variables.
here is the code:

$fullFilePath = "Q:\yes\iam\perl\newbie\file.txt";
$pathto,$file = substr($fullFile =~ m/(.*)\\(.*)/i);

print $pathto;
print $file;



the error is:
Not enough arguments for substr at Y:\pdf\test.pl line 2, near "m/(.*)\\(.*)/i)"

i was under the impression that each set of parans specified an argument. 2 arguments, 2 variables

 

[prex1]

$fullFilePath = 'Q:\yes\iam\perl\newbie\file.txt';
($pathto,$file) = $fullFilePath =~ m/(.*)\\(.*)/;
