How can I do a 3-argument open on STDIN? This doesn't work because the 3-argument open won't open STDIN when you tell it to open "-".
************************************** @files = ("-"); for (@files) { print reverse readfile($_); } sub readfile { open(my $fh,"<",$_[0]) or die "$me: Couldn't open $_[0]: $!\n"; my(@fc) = <$fh>; close($fh) or die "$me: Couldn't close $_[0]: $!\n"; if ($fc[0] =~ /\r/) { @fc = map { s/\r\n?/\n/g; split /(?<=\n)/ } @fc; } if (wantarray()) { return @fc; } else { return join('', @fc) } } ************************************** How can I use the "safe" 3-argument open and still be able to read off a pipe? - Bryan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
