Thanks to all who have spent precisous time looking at my code.
Perhaps let me clarify a few things
1. I am working on Windows with cygwin (and perl) installed. When I did which
cat I got the path and indded cat is there.
2. I write the date to file because when I use it I get 2009414 (for example
istead of 20090414). That part of the code works.
3. The files are meteorological reports (synop, temp, metar, etc) which keep
coming as they are produced so one cannot guess the exact named of the report,
except that it is msgnnnnnnnn where nnn... is an 8-digit number.
4. The idea of the program is to put all report for a day in one file and them
they are processed by other programs.
Thanks
Zilore
