I get some output in the COMMAND filehandle, as you see i try to dont show it by hiding it into an $output , then while the COMMAND is running i want perl to interactivly examine the $output and seach for 10% if its there is should only print that to the screen. now it still prints all the $_ to the screen..how do i fix this?
@vobs = `dir /b $backupdir`; chomp @vobs; foreach $vob (@vobs) { open(COMMAND, `$dbcheck -a -k -r10 -p8192 $backupdir\\$vob\\db\\vob_db`); while (<COMMAND>) { $output = $_; if ($output =~ /.10\%./) { print "found 10\%"; } } } thx for help //Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
