Hey Michael
the issue is as you posted the code for the previous problem in thread "giving same name to two files " . If the first time input is correct then it works fine , but if the user gives wrong file name , so I am doing this
while (!-e $filename)
{
print "-*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-
+*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*--*-*-\n";
print STDERR "\n$filename not found. \n Ensure that you have
+ given the correct file name\n and the file exists in the working dir
+ectory \n.";
print "Re-enter filename, or q to quit: ";
$filename = <STDIN>;
chomp $filename;
# my @filenam = split ('\.', $filename);
exit() if $filename eq "q";
}
the commented line is what I have added , so it takes only the first time name ,not the correct one .

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).
