Re: how can I input different files as an argument while I am running my perl program?

When you run your program, just specify the filename as an argument on the command line:

./program.pl file1.txt <optionally more files>
[download]

The filenames can then be found inside the script in the global array @ARGV.

Thanks very much for the reply. However, does that mean that in my perl program, I should include the following line: open (INFILE, @ARGV); in order for me to input different textfiles when I type in the command line? btw is it necessary for me to include -x when I specify the path?	[reply]
