( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
As apl says, adding use strict and use warnings is always a good practice.

I am curious about this fragment:

print "$FN[$k]\n"; $filename = <$FN[$k]>; chomp ($filename); $file->open("< $filename") or die("Can't read the source:$!");
The expression <$FN[$k]> reads from the file handle $FN[$k]. Do your files out-02-00.txt, etc. contain a file name or do they contain data? If the latter, I think you want just $filename = $FN[$k];.

Update: The following curiosity has been cleared up by duff below.

The curious part is that my testing shows that $filename is actually being set to $FN[$k] (cygwin-perl 5.8.8). However, this supposedly equivalent code sets $filename to undef:

... $filename = readline($FN[$k]); ...
Update: Some more testing shows that if $f is the path of an existing file, then <$f> returns $f (assuming that $f has not been used as a file handle. Otherwise it returns undef. Ver interesting...

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
