Hello Listners, I am totally novice in perland I need help with that script. what can be the syntex of assigning a variable (my $path) in perl which is taking value (for example c:\documents\script.txt) from an expternal APP. The script will actually parse the my$path value (C:\documents\script.txt) to (script.txt) and then will send parse value of my$path to STDOUT. I am not sure how should I declare the value of my$path.
The script looks like this \#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use File::Basename; my $path = Variable from external app my $base = basename($path); my $dir = dirname($path); print STDOUT $base; I will really appreciate any help/comment on it. thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
