Hi Monks , if I have these paths like this: 
/main23/loge/do.pl
/main22/loges/de.pl

[download]
in my script , I have to be under main23 directory , but I would like to grep for stuff under main22 but it complains because it can't find or see main22. how can I do this ,, my grep command looks like this 
system (qq(grep $file /main23/loge/do.pl
/main22/loges/de.pl > out.txt));

[download]
when running the script , i get somthing like this 
grep: /main23/loge/do.pl: No such file or directory
grep: /main22/loges/de.pl: No such file or director

[download]
again I have to be under main23 to run it ,, Thanks
