( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hi tobyink, Thank you for replying. You, Neighbour, and the other Monks really helped me out. But I wanted to ask you how should I close the filehandle $fh after it has been opened? I've written my code somewhat similar to you and Neighbours but I am not sure if it is correct. Here is a snippet of the problem:
sub my_close { my( $fh ) = @_; + close($fh) or die "$!\n"; } + sub my_open { + my( $file, $mode ) = @_; + open my $fh, $mode, $file or die "$!\n"; + return $fh; } sub errors { + my( $file, $mode ) = @_; my $fh = my_open($file, $mode); my @errors = (); while( <$fh> ) { chomp; + next if /^[a-z]/; push( @errors, qq(Line $. '$_' does not begin with lowercase l +etter.) ); } my_close($fh); # Safe to close file like this??? + + return @errors; }
Thank you.

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.
