Re: Telnet print issues...

tel->print('/apps/current/bin/getz -vf "off des" "[$database -type: pr
+imary|predicted]" &> /data/holdFile.txt');

Hey Gangabass, thanks for the reply. Yeah I tried that, but that falls down as well. Think that's because $database is called inside that string which if in single quotes, will only return '$database' and not the variables contents. Is there a way I can get the output of whatever the commandline is saying to my telnet statement back onto my local commandline so I can see if it's saying giving NULL command, or broken pipe etc? Thanks	[reply]

In that case, how about breaking it up into concatenated substrings? `tel->print('/apps/current/bin/getz -vf "off des" "[' . $database . ' -type: primary\|predicted]" &> /data/holdFile.txt');` [download] As for capturing the output of your command, try the backticks: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#%60STRING%60	[reply] [d/l]
