How do I print to more than one file at once?by faq_monk (Initiate) |
on Oct 13, 1999 at 03:42 UTC ( #810=perlfaq nodetype: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
Current Perl documentation can be found at perldoc.perl.org. Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version: If you only have to do this once, you can do this:
for $fh (FH1, FH2, FH3) { print $fh "whatever\n" }
To connect up to one filehandle to several output filehandles, it's easiest to use the
open (FH, "| tee file1 file2 file3"); Or even:
# make STDOUT go to three files, plus original STDOUT open (STDOUT, "| tee file1 file2 file3") or die "Teeing off: $!\n"; print "whatever\n" or die "Writing: $!\n"; close(STDOUT) or die "Closing: $!\n"; Otherwise you'll have to write your own multiplexing print function -- or your own tee program -- or use Tom Christiansen's, at http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/TOMC/scripts/tct.gz, which is written in Perl and offers much greater functionality than the stock version.
