in reply to Bad file description for win32/bash/perl combo
Too many files!
Well, I may not have answered the question, but I have found that even putting too large of a string into a backtick operation causes the 'Bad file descriptor' error.
`wc $lots_of_files`;does not work. It can be broken up so to be made to work:
@lots_of_files = split($lots_of_files);Well, that seems to work. It doesn't explain why redirection is failing for me in just about all cases though.$third = $#lots_of_files;
$a = join(' ', @lots_of_files [0..$third] );
$a = join(' ', @lots_of_files [1+$third..2*third]);
$a = join(' ', @lots_of_files [1+2*$third..$#lots_of_files] );
`wc $a`;
`wc $b`;
`wc $c`;
Maybe this is usefull to someone.
