Hi, I need to pull a file or files down every day that contain a specific string. Here's my code.
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Net::SCP; my $scp=' '; open (LOG, ">>/home/wesaysopost/logs/retrieve-wesayso-results.log") or die "Can't open logfile"; LOG-> autoflush(1); print LOG "Starting Retrieval Process"; $scp = Net::SCP->new ( "theserver.wesayso.com", "mylogin"); $scp->cwd("postingscript") or die "Can't change directories"; $scp->get ("acme_posting*") or die "Can't retrieve results"; close LOG; exit; The file I'm retrieving is acme_posting20110415.txt (date changes every day) The file is found, but it's being saved as acme_posting* I'm not specifying a local file name when I get the file, why is SCP saving it under a different name? Thanks in Advance! Dave
