Subject: A simple question
Dear all,
I plan to write a simple remote connection script, and then "ls" the content
of the current directory, input like
telnet hostname
username
password
ls
I use the following script:
system ("telnet hostname");
<STDOUT> = "username\n";
<STDOUT> = "password\n";
system ("ls");
It failed in the <STDOUT> syntax.
Can anyone kindly give me a hint?
Yep.
STDOUT is a GLOB filehandle poiting to the standard output (e.g. console
window).
the <> operator tells to read a line.
So what you are saying is:
Read a line from standard out = "username\n";
That is nog gonna work.
Try this:
print STDOUT "username\n";.
Although i also agree with Craig's response that you would be better of
using standard perl modules that implement the desired functionality.
Maarten.
