Hi All,
I need to read in a file from a system call. I need to extract a file (doc.txt) from
a zip file ($myfile1) and read it directly in from a pipe instead of writing to disk,
then opening the file. My system call is:
system ("unzip $myfile1 doc.txt"); which works fine to extract the file to disk.
I would like the contents of doc.txt to be stored in/appended to a var named $text. I
have tried:
$text .= system("unzip $myfile1 doc.txt");
$text .= (system("unzip $myfile1 doc.txt"));
$text .= "system("unzip $myfile1 doc.txt")";
$text .= [system("unzip $myfile1 doc.txt")];
and just about every variation I can think of. Of course none of these returned the
expected results, and
$text -> system("unzip $myfile1 doc.txt");
which would only work if it's a pm
I also tried variations on:
open (MYFILES, (system("unzip $myfile1 doc.txt")));
Any clues? Thanx!
Please reply directly and to list.
