Hello all,
Hello,
I have two quick questions that I would love some help on. I have looked
at the manual (Programming Perl) and I didn't get it, hence my email.
Question 1 - How can I make variables in a function (subroutine) global
(accessible from other functions)?
Any variable defined outside of and before the subroutine is accessible
from inside the subroutine.
Question 2 - I am trying to control the actions of a program through an
email; i.e. change the basic parameters by sending an email to a
specific address. Can anyone suggest what regex would get me xxxxxx and
y(y) if the subject line of the email looks like:
Subject: 123456 9 or Subject: 123456 10
The 10 in the line above can be a 1 or 2 digit number. The 6 digit
number right after the 'Subject:' is an employee number and the 1 or 2
digit number after it is the hours worked.
if ( /^Subject:\s+(\d+)\s+(\d+)/ ) {
( $employee, $hours ) = ( $1, $2 );
}
John
