Description: I want to compare what is in $ARGV[0] an array that I created from a file that contains single line entries.
This is what I have so far:
#!c:\perl\bin -w
use strict;
open downfile, '>f:\scripts\text\nodedown.txt':
print downfile "$ARGV[1] $ARGV[2] is Down on $ARGV[0].\n";
close downfile;
my $routers="F:/scripts/text/routers.txt";
open routers, $routers or die "cannot open $routers: $!\n";
my @lines = <routers>;
close routers;
my ($zero_arg, $first_arg, $sec_arg) = @ARGV[0..2];
if (grep {$zero_arg eq $ARGV[0]} @lines) {
system('f:\usr\ov\bin\nvecho.exe GOT IT');
}
exit 0;
Is there a better way to do this? Answer: compare what is in ARGV0 to a file
contributed by Fastolfe Be aware that each element in @lines will have the trailing newline from the file. You probably want to chomp(@lines); before you compare it against anything.
In addition, your grep statement is non-sensical. See the documentation for it. If you want to loop through @lines and compare it against $ARGV[0] (why not $zero_arg?), you'll have to either explicitely set up a loop to do it, or modify your grep statement to compare against $_, which will iteratively contain each element in @lines in turn. | Answer: compare what is in ARGV0 to a file
contributed by Ovid dallok: this appears to be at least the third time that you have asked a variation of this question. I think you would be better served posting this to the Seekers of Perl Wisdom section. Then, rather than post it three times (with little to no explanation), you could generate a running commentary where people ask "What are you talking about?" and you get a chance to clarify it, rather than repeatedly posting "non-questions" like the one above. |
