Hi Chang Min Jeon, Please use back stick operator here, instead of system command, because system command doesn't return anything.
Replace the system command with, $Result = `$command`; If ($Result) { Print " appropriate message \n"; } else { print " Failed message \n"; } -- Regards, Mustafa ________________________________ From: perl-win32-users-boun...@listserv.activestate.com [mailto:perl-win32-users-boun...@listserv.activestate.com] On Behalf Of Chang Min Jeon Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 5:44 AM To: Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: use system() function hello I trying to modify file using perl one line like below. my $cmd = "perl -pi -e's/aaa/bbb/' "; open(MAKEFILES, '<', $ARGV[0]) or die "file open error"; my @filelist = <MAKEFILES>; foreach my $file (@filelist) { chomp($file); my $command = $cmd.$file; print $command,"\n"; !system($command) or die "shell command not work"; } close(MAKEFILES); but system function does not work.
