Re: literal meaning of a variable

Can anyone suggest that what I should do here????

Well, yes.
If it was me - rather than calling the shell - I would open the file, and then search for the line/s of interest.
Something like (untested):

my $file = "$ENV{JBOSS_HOME}/log/wrapper.log";
open IN, "<$file" or die "Cannot open $file:$!\n";
while (<IN>) {
    chomp;
    next if ($_ !~ /$find/);
    next if ($_ !~ /$date/);
    push @array, $_;
}

Cheers,
Darren :)

Except `!~` is a binary operator. Perhaps you meant: `... next if !/$find/; next if !/$date/; ...` [download] Though I would be tempted to instead use: `... next unless /$find/; next unless /$date/; ...` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Except !~ is a binary operator. heh... well, I did say it was untested :) What I meant was: `next if ($_ !~ /$find/);` Although I guess in that context it's essentially the same as: `next if !/$find/;` yes? Ever since I read TheDamian's PBP, I tend to try and avoid unless :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
