If you really want to get the whole file and print it, then you would need to shutoff
the input record separator and print it out:
undef $/;
$file = <IFCONFIG>;
printf $file
or
change $ to @ and it would read the whole file in:
@file = <IFCONFIG>;
print @file;
Wags ;)

Subject: Piping ifconfig to a text file
List,
Can some one help me with opening ifconfig and pipe it to a text file.
Then I want to be able to view that file.
How would I go about this?
open IFCONFIG, "/sbin/ifconfig";
$file=<IFCONFIG>;
print $file;
....
Kind regards,
Daniel Falkenberg
