( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

To elaborate further, use this (note double quotes): system("@Call"); instead of this: system(@Call); to achieve the same effect as your first fragment.

And, BTW, you probably meant to do this:

$Call[0] = "gawk"; $Call[1] = "-f"; $Call[2] = "test.gawk"; $Call[3] = "test.file"; $Call[4] = ">"; $Call[5] = "out.file";

or (slightly more efficiently) this:

@Call = ( "gawk", "-f", "test.gawk", "test.file", ">", "out.file" );

rather than your original code, which is assigning values to 1-element array slices, which are sublists -- NOT arrays! -- of references to the elements of the @Call array; needless to say, although it works, it is somewhat less efficient than either of the above approaches, and bad practice besides.

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

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.
