Re^2: Process multiple filenames from command line or STDIN

But I'm not trying to use a wildcard in the command line, so I'm not sure how this applies to my question.

I am using Ubuntu.

Ok. I was thinking in a more complex direction. If you have an enumerated list (no wildcards)on the command line, then you need to read multiple things from the command line. Assign an array, @names = @ARGV instead of scalar like $names. iterate over the @names. ~~please when you update code, do not delete the original post. This just confuses folks.~~ update: oh I see that I'm wrong here. I'm doing this on a very small screen and I didn't see it. Oops.	[reply]
