Hi all,
I have a script that logs activities to a txt log file. I noticed that
when deleting the file from another window or shell, the script stops
writing to the file. I was expecting something like the unix shell,
which is creating a new file and appending to it.
execute this script:
#!/u
perldoc -f unlink

Hi Rory,
Assuming that if there is a problem in opening the file then it's 0, I
hope the following code helps.
#Code Begings
if (open (INFILE, ";
close (INFILE);
} else {
$flag = 0;
}
if ($flag == 0) {
$flag = 1;
} else {
$flag = 0;
}
open (OUTFILE, ">file.txt") || die;

I need to touch a file with a "1" in it if a condition is true, and
either toggle the "1" to a "0" or delete the file (whichever is better,
probably toggle) if another condition is true. Excuse my
newbie-ness...but can anyone give me some hints as to the correct syntax
for that?
thanks,

Thank you! I thought I had to open the directory then delete the
file to use unlink. Thank you again.
