( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
My home directory contains these files:- 08-1.txt 08-2.txt 09-1.txt 09-2.txt
i have an array @files = ("08","09");
foreach $file (@files) { $file =~ s/\s*$//; @command = `ls -l|grep $file`; print @command; system("/usr/bin/perl hash.pl $file"); }
Content of hash.pl #!/usr/local/bin/perl my %data; my $header = <>; # first line while(<>) { my($key) = split /\s+/; $data{$key} = $_; } print $header; foreach my $key (sort keys %data) { print $data{$key}; }
value of @command array after the first iteration of @files is $command[0]=08-1.txt $command[1]=08-2.txt but for the second iteration of @files value of @command array :- $command[0]=09-1.txt 09-2.txt $command[1]=empty. why this is happening? i want the value to be $command[0]=09-1.txt $command[1]=09-2.txt can anyone please help?
I need to use the @files array. can anyone suggest what might cause the @command array to act like this? Is this because is used hash.pl in the script?

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
