Re: backticks - bash instead of sh

This is documented, see perlop on qx. If you don't want /bin/sh, use system or IPC::Open2 or IPC::Open3 or explicitly invoke /bin/bash or whatever shell you want.

The command I'm trying to run is `paste filename <(cut -d \" \" -f 2 filename2 \| grep -v mean) >> filename3` Even if I begin with `/bin/bash ...` I get "sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected".	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Write it in Perl, or just use a bash file and call it through perl. I don't think this is a hard job to do in perl. You'll have to read tow files and output them in 1 file... and this has been done many times before over here ... use the search button in the top of the site to look that up	[reply]
