Hello Brothers and Sisters,

I have an issue in a clearcase perl script I am running in unix that I hope maybe someone can help me with.

Whenever I run the CATCS command to list the elements for a specific stream, (Which I am grep-ing out certain information) I get no output.

Here is my bit of code:


$catCMD = "${ctpath}cleartool catcs -tag $view | grep \"_dev\""; 
        
$catOut = `catCMD 2>&1`; 
        
print "** CATCS= $catCMD\n\n $catOut\n" if ($debug_mode); 
$catRC = $?; 
if ($catRC !=0) { 
    print "ERROR9: Cannot list dev vobs for $view\n"; 
   }

It always resolves to the RC and prints an error.

However, once the script is done, I can copy, paste and run the command string printed from $catCMD when debug is on and it works just fine...

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need any further context.

This was supposed to be a quick and dirty, and it has just turned out to be dirty... :) Maybe I should just go back and do it right by adding my use strict; et al...

Thanks,
SouKenji
