hi ,

i have a requirement wherein i have 3 perlscripts say 1.pl,2.pl and 3.pl. i need to execute these three pearl scripts from inside a shell script, by passing arguments. example would be like , i have a shellscript named shellscript.sh .inside this shell script i have called the 3 perlscripts . So on executing the shellscript (by passing arguments shellscript.sh arg1 arg2, it should execute the 3 perl scrits called inside. these 3 perlscripts also need the passed arguments . in short if i call shellscripts.sh arg1 arg 2, this inturn calls 1.pl arg1 arg2, 2.pl arg1 arg2, 3.pl arg1 arg2 . how to do ths? </p

This is not a Perl question, it is a shell question. The answer depends on what kind of shell you run; but usually, the following should work: `1.pl "$@" 2.pl "$@" 3.pl "$@"` [download] `"$@"` stands for "all the arguments". If only particular arguments are needed, you can use the positional arguments: `4.pl "$2" # Only the second argument.` [download] لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l] [select]

sh, check the "special parameters" section.	[reply]

Hi, For me the real question is - why are you running a shell script at all? And why 3 Perl progs? You are passing the same args into all the progs. Why not just pass them into one prog and do all the work of the three progs in one go? I would give it a bit more thought. J.C.	[reply]
