Hi Wes,
Thanks for getting back to me..!
I'm trying to determine if the issue is the way I am using PAR/pp, or if the
script I have created is simply not able to find the text files or the CLI
executible the way I am referencing them.
I've even tried putting them in a a folder call script; i.e.:
script\cli.exe, script\txt, script\txt\file.txt:
> .
> ..
> file.pl (PERL Script)
> script
> |
> cli.exe (DOS CLI executible)
> script |
> txt (folder)
> |
> file1.txt (text file)
> file2.txt (text file)
> file3.txt (text file)
> file4.txt (text file)

> script\txt folder (which may be a path issue in then script).
