Re^12: Querying program port

Thanks for helping!
I did not create this file, jcb created that file. I tried to download it but it took me to another page and did nothing.
First time I copied and pasted using my win10 comp, pasted into padre. No luck.
Second time using my Ubuntu comp, I copied and pasted into bluefish, again same results.
Tried your suggestion, the following is from my Ubuntu terminal.
~$ dos2unix /home/cougarxr7/Perl/blueports.pl
dos2unix: converting file /home/cougarxr7/Perl/blueports.pl to Unix format...
~$ /home/cougarxr7/Perl/blueports.pl
bash: /home/cougarxr7/Perl/blueports.pl: Permission denied
The file is named blueports to let me know I used Bluefish.
Not sure what you mean with, "windows line ending"?

"Not sure what you mean with, "windows line ending"?" See Newline. when you've used dos2unix you need to set the permissions on the new file, adding execute as required. `chmod +x blueports.pl`. You'd also benefit from an introduction to the command prompt.	[reply] [d/l]

That file now runs! After applying "chmod +x blueports.pl"! Thank you guys, and yes I will use searches when someone post something I never heard of!	[reply]
