Hello, I want to use grep to get a list of files into @files. Here's what it looks like now:
$sender = "CHAS"; $asofdate = "20020401"; @files = `grep -sl $sender /home/data/*`; print @files; This gets all the files that contain CHAS, but what I really want is all the files that contain CHAS and $asofdate and SETTLED. These unix commands work to get the correct subset of files (I'm using ksh): grep -sl \<basis\>SETTLED\<\/basis\> $( grep -l CHAS $(grep -l \<asOfDate\>20020401\<\/asOfDate\> /home/data/*)) grep -sl $bic /home/data/* | xargs grep -l \<basis\>SETTLED\<\/basis\> | xargs grep -l \<asOfDate\>$asofdate\<\/asOfDate\> If I try the first of these between the backticks in the perl script, I get a sh error because it doesn't understand the ksh $() syntax. If I try the second, I get this error: sh: syntax error at line 1: `|' unexpected Can somebody suggest an easy way to call either of the above commands or to emulate them with a perl command? (For the moment, I've put them into a ksh script and am calling the script, but I would like the perl script to be self-contained.)
