I am trying to write a program that will allow me to CD to various places (more details later). I want to call this from the windows command line (cmd).
Ways I have tried are
- use Perl "chdir" - but this only affects the perl process. The caller doesn't see that change.
- write a bat file that calls the Perl which somehow returns the result back to the bat file that can then CD for you. How can you return this
REM mycd.bat
perl find_dir.pl %1
cd %directory_returned_by_find_dir%
In a bit more detail as to what I am trying to do at application level.
I want to be able to type "mycd test" and this looks up test in a flat file and finds
test : c:\blah\blah\moreblah\test
and cds you to the correct directory
Any thoughts as to how to do this _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
