Re: system commands aren't working as a loop.

in reply to system commands aren't working as a loop.

Thanks to both of you.When i tried to print out @cmd, It was printing them out, but I can't understand why, was not substituting the actual values of $file.Since I din't have an actual file called $file, it was trowing me an error.Once I changed it as @ options etc, it succeeds, atleast from my side.I just need to go on to the as400 to see if it has recieved the files

Once I changed it as @ options etc, The key difference is moving `$file` outside of `qw()` because `qw()` doesn't interpolate. Creating an array of options instead of one containing the whole command is just aesthetics. It all results in the same list of arguments.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
