Re^3: Saving my output to a folder

If you will be running this script multiple times, each run will overwrite the previously saved ppid.

If you want to preserve/append to the PPID instead, use this construct to open the file in "append" mode:

open my $wfh, '>>', "$dir/$outfile"
  or die "ERROR: Can't open/append the damned output file! The OS says
+:$!";

This is not an optical illusion, it just looks like one.

Thanks, If I want to add every new scanned PPID as a new text file in that folder what should I do? Like having a list of text files in the destination folder. I will really appreciate any help.	[reply]

Yes - this is trivial: `open my $wfh, '>', "$dir/$input" or die "can't open the damned output file! $!";` [download] This is not an optical illusion, it just looks like one.	[reply] [d/l]
