For loop...

2001-06-24 Thread Tim Grossner
I am using a for (@targets) loop to connect to cisco routers...if the target is unreachable I need it to go on to the next target in the array @targets. What should I look for? An "else" statement or what? Tim Grossner voice - 217-438-6161 pager - 217-467-3148 cell - 217-971

Opening a file, but adding the date to the name

2001-06-24 Thread Tim Grossner
I want to open a file: open (CONFIG, ">/tftpboot/$_"); chmod (0777, "/tftpboot/$_"); but i want to make the filename be $_."the current date" the localtime function doesnt look very promising, as the output is not very human readable :-) Any thoughts?

I am using a for like so: for(@targets) { ...stuff... } What variable can I use to specify the CURRENT target to operate on? for instance: for(@targets) { ...stuff...("VARIABLE THAT IS EQUAL TO THE CURRENT TARGET") } Tim Grossner voice - 217-438-6161 pager - 217-467-3148 cell
