Hi, I am writing a Perl program that reads files created by another independent process. I have to take care that the perl program does not read the files that are in the process of getting created. I am programming in Windows NT environment. It is also not possible for the perl program to get triggered by the other process that creates the files.
Is there any method by which it can detected whether the file is already in use by the another process -- any modules or commands (already tried open command). The file open function in perl returns an error if the file is already in use. But is there some better way to do this? Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
