Hi, Can I not do something like... #!/usr/local/bin/perl use strict; my $myname='hi There'; system "ls","-la"; system "echo","$myname"; qx{awk '{ if ($myname==$1) { do something } else print $2,$1 }'};
My script is complaining about uninitialized variables.. I suspect it is talking about $1 and $2s .Can I not place them here? Can I pass $myname to awk? Thanks Bhanu __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
