the code is as follow #!c:/perl/bin/perl use warnings ; use strict ; my $fl = "c:/Perl/CDR_MSC_DAT/00016363.DAT"; { local ($\) = ("\n") ; open my $fh, '<', $fl or die "open '$fl': $!" ; while (<$fh>) { print $fh; } } the output is perl fdmacdr.pl GLOB(0x225218) GLOB(0x225218) GLOB(0x225218) its not a music file... cos another program though proprietary has opened it. goksie > ------------------------------------------------------ > "Home is not where you are born, but where your heart finds peace" - > Tommy Nordgren, "The dying old crone" > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > --To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response> > > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
