Re: File Handle qwerk?

in reply to File Handle qwerk?

This is likely your problem:

$memcmd=`/usr/sbin/prtconf | grep Memory`;

...which you then later try to use as a new FileHandle.

Try changing that line* to:

$memcmd="/usr/sbin/prtconf | grep Memory |";

The alternative is to capture the full output of qx//:

@memcmd_output = `/usr/sbin/prtconf | grep Memory`;

... and then iterate over that ...

for my $line( @memcmd_output ){
   # ... do your stuff on $line
}

* Updated: ikegami pointed out a missing trailing vertical bar.

Try changing that line to:

$memcmd="/usr/sbin/prtconf | grep Memory"; 

Shouldn't that be

$memcmd="/usr/sbin/prtconf | grep Memory |";

Yep. I admit to not testing it - I'm not used to reading the output of a command that way.

I've corrected it above.
