in thread File reading with hashes

can you open /x02/bee/MY_FILE from the command line with something like cat? What are the perms if you ls -l /x02/bee/MY_FILE? Does this match your user/group settings?

Cheers,
R.

    Thanks. Yes there are no problems with the file permissions sir. Each and every one of those files have read permission.

      If you are getting a permission denied error I am afraid that there is a problem with permissions, however probably not an obvious one.

      Can you add the following code between the if -e and the open FH2 line and tell us the results. 

              my @file_stat = stat "$users{$user}/MY_FILE";
        my @dir_stat =  stat "$users{$user}";
        printf("%d $users{$user}         -> 0%o %d %d\n", $>, $dir_sta
+t[2] & 07777, $dir_stat[4], $dir_stat[5]);
        printf("%d $users{$user}/MY_FILE -> 0%o %d %d\n", $>, $file_st
+at[2] & 07777, $file_stat[4], $file_stat[5]);

      Update: tidied up code no functionality changed.
