Re: Perl & NT

Change the ' for ". In Windows, specifically CMD, ' won't work.

So in this instance, all you're sending to perl is : perl -e `$_, and the rest of the line is parsed by CMD, including the pipes.

Your correct code should look like this :

which date | perl -e "$_ = <STDIN>; $_ =~ s|/|\\|g; print $_;"

P.S You need the MKS toolkit installed on your machine to in order to run the which command.

P.M.S Also use the code tags, to format any posted code in a nice, readable fashion.
