in thread How to pass a file to GetOpt

Hi,

Change

open my $in, '<', $input or die $!; to open my $in, '<', $input or die "$! - [$input]";

to see what you are actually trying to open.

J.C.

    No such file or directory - [C:\Users\Mruppe2\workspace\Perl] at 5MinI +nterval2.pl line 11.

    The actual file path is longer than that. The error_log is actually just a file, I don't believe that it has an extension.

    perl 5MinInterval2.pl -input C:\Users\Mruppe2\workspace\Perl 5 Essen +tial Training\MPMStats Project\error_log -output C:\temp\output9.csv

      You'll need to quote pathnames with embedded spaces:

      perl 5MinInterval2.pl -input "C:\Users\Mruppe2\workspace\Perl 5 Essent +ial Training\MPMStats Project\error_log" -output C:\temp\output9.csv

      -- Ken

        OP: for reasons like this, I recommend not putting spaces in any filenames. It makes things much easier in the long run.
