Hi,
I need some help. I need to check if a process is running and then continue on with some Perl code after the process completes. (I am going to use notepad.exe as an example app)
The Perl call prglst doesn't work for me so I wrote some DOS code that works sending the data through to a file that I can read:
set tempfile = "C:\Testing\TestNotepadRunning.txt"
tasklist > %tempfile%
Then transposing that call into Perl won't work for me:
my @tempfile = 'C:\Testing\TestNotepadRunning.txt';
system('TASKLIST > $tempfile');
Can you help?

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
