Re: Expanding a variable

Hello Bob You can use a variable within double quotes. It will be replaced by its value at runtime. The same applies to backticks, so you could do: system ("cat $dir"); or @dirlist = `cat $dir`; HTH, Rob "Bob H" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message 01c2aa01$cc19d750$a4203118@hom

I can actually do that. : ) What I need to do is take the contents of the $file variable expand it and then run some system() commands using it. The print only shows to console. Can I do anything with that? > -Original Message- > From: Wagner, David --- Senior Programmer Analyst --- WGO

This is interesting. You called this an inplace edit, but it sounds a lot like it is srill a transfer. Otherwise there would be no need for any backup extension. This sounds essentially like an optomistic save, assuming that the procedure will finish gracefully.I think that if you examine the

Re: Why does this code fail?

HI Satya, I'd say skip the sladhes in your join statement. They shouldn't be necessary. If you wish to quote the elements you could try : $env_final[$i] = join ("\", \"", $fields[1], $fields[2], @temp_str - 1); The important distinction between split and join is that split uses a pattern /$
