Re: Input files <>

What does "will not work" mean? What output are you expecting?

It "works" fine for me on Windows 7 64-bit / Strawberry 64-bit 5.12.3. "Works" as in does what I expect it to do - maybe not what you want?

VinsWorldcom@C:\Users\VinsWorldcom\tmp> ver

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

VinsWorldcom@C:\Users\VinsWorldcom\tmp> perl -v

This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 3 (v5.12.3) built for MSWin32-x

Thank you VinsWorld, I expected to see the contents of @raw. Which sould be two sentences. The file.txt that was the source input contained two sentences. On the command line I type in the pl script blank space and file.txt. I hit return.The curser moves to next line on command screen and stays there forever. ostra	[reply]

As far as I can deduce from your program (which isn't inside of `<code>` tags, so very hard to read), `@raw` will be assigned the current line. `@raw` will never contain more than one line. Finally, when all input is seen, `@raw` is printed. And hence, will print the final line of the input.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you for your reply. But I don't see the final line-i don't see anything.	[reply]
