Hi,
I have a web interface where I'm executing a compiled perl script. Within the perl script I'm trying to execute a DOS command but its not working properly. If I put my command in a batch file and execute the batch file from the perl script it works. I know it's because copy is not a program...it's a function inside the command.com /cmd.exe shell interpreter. That's why it works when it's a batch file...because the batch is implicitly run under the shell interpreter. This is the line in my perl script that is not quite doing what I want it to do. Copy the file. system("command.com copy /C d:\test\input.ps e:\test\output.ps"); When I run the above line from a DOS command prompt this is the error I get. File not found - D:\TEST\INPUT.PS 0 file(s) copied What wrong? --------------------------------------------------- FIGJAM --------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
