See Bob, I am attempting to activate my c++ program(on my server) from client within the same LAN. This program pulls a data file called c:\input.txt, that is with in the program this directory are refereced as c:\input.txt.
This input.txt file is a flat file of data that I intend to send to the server (sever-client operates withing the same LAN). every time when uploading the file from the client then the name of the file gets changed and the c++ program can't recognize the c__input format. I got an idea, to use the fileparsing option of the BASNAME module. se File::Basename; say $file = $q->param("uploadFileParam"); my ($base, $path, $type) = fileparse($file); but this does'nt seem to work == Find businesses and have your business found: http://www.brabys.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
