Lo all, What's the best way to execute a binary command from within perl, and read text returned by the binary, as well as write data to certain prompts that the program may have?
Say, I have... #>./myprogram This is my program, I will ask you a question now Please give me your name: WHATEVER Thank you. In this instance, I want to read the output from the program, wait for "name:", and send it WHATEVER. Then, based on the exit code of the application, I want to execute various code (say, when the program exits successfully, of when there is a error).... Does anyone have some pointers on this for me? How can I accomplish this.. To my understanding, both system() and exec() are out of bounds here... Or am I wrong? -- me -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
