I have considered option 3, but it feels a bit too kludgy and there's always the possibility that different versions of zip behave differently since there is no standard for creating zip archives. I'm still keeping it in the back of my mind though since as you pointed out, option 2 can cause problems when the "trigger" file is loaded without verifying that the original file arrived correctly, or I've also seen cases where someone will load a trigger file without sending the data file (or the other way around). I'd say that it works 80-90% of the time which is good. Its just that 10-20% when it does not that is annoying, especially when you get paged at 3am because some idjit mistakenly created a data file without a trigger, or vice versa. The best solution would perhaps be a combination of some or all of these options (provided a workable solution could be created easily) :-)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
