Re: Problem with uploaded (http) files with File::MMagic

Invalid type 'regex' at line 271

The program you show only has 10 lines. Examine this line 271 and see what caused this error.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

Actually, that is all of my 'test' program Line 271 appears to refers to /usr/share/file/magic.mime I do see that there are some differences in the magic.mime file for systems.	[reply]

Well it's a good thing you didn't show us the contents of line 271 of your /usr/share/file/magic.mime file. Otherwise we might have a clue to the problem. We wouldn't want that, would we? On a more serious note, I briefly looked over my local /usr/share/file/magic.mime file and didn't see anything particularly different in the region of line 271, but at line 303 in mine, I have the line: `#0 regex BEGIN[[:space:]][{] application/x-awk` [download] and at line 640: `0 regex [Cc]onstant[[:space:]]+[Ss]tory text/x-inform` [download] Those are the only two lines mentioning 'regex' in my file. Perhaps you could make a copy of your file and remove the regex lines and see if it works? ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.*	[reply] [d/l] [select]
