Re^2: diamond operator

Update: ran some more code and the first part here is not right.

~~Just a little point, <> reads from STDIN, not @ARGV. Looks like a typo to me.~~

For the poster, I showed some code below. In Perl @ARGV has the command line args. In C, char **argv, array of pointers to strings. Way easier in Perl! Perl does have equivalent to C getopts with many flavors.

`<>` only reads from STDIN if `@ARGV` is empty: `@ARGV=($0,$0,$0); print for <>;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I learned something. THANKS Corion! I would not have thought that: while(<>) would try to open a command line arg as a file! But evidently it will! `C:\TEMP>cat corion.pl #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; while (<>) { print $_;} C:\TEMP>perl corion.pl a b c Can't open a: No such file or directory at corion.pl line 4. Can't open b: No such file or directory at corion.pl line 4. Can't open c: No such file or directory at corion.pl line 4.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
