WITH the $diff code it is NOT subtracting the two numbers which is what I need. I think the problem is $_ contains data from the original app command which is
regular files 62,622 597.488G 641547379187
archdone files 62,535 597.008G 641032761295
and so I am saying subtract what is in field 1 , well field 1 is empty, but why???? finally, I took away the + from the print and I had some errors, why is the + infront of the split needed in Perl?
thank you,
derek
my $dev = qw/original1/;
my $dev1 = qw/clinical1/;
my $diff=0;
open (FOO, "samcmd a $dev 2>\&1 |" ) || die
"unable to open pipe... Broken? $!";
while (<FOO>) {
if (/regular files|archdone files/) {
local $, = "\n";
#s/^\w+(\s+)\w+(\s+)// && s/,//,;
s/,//, print +(split)[2], $,;
if (/^\d+/) {
diff -=$1; ##--## 62622-62535
}
}
}
print "Difference is: $diff\n";
close (FOO) or warn "unable to close file $!";

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>

-
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).
