looks to me like you are trying to read the voblist from clearcase? or is it the labels that is in that VOB? why have you placed them in a text file? why not read em out from the system directly? if you want to read the label names you can just run it like this
my $vob = "vobname" @labels = `cleartool lstype -s -kind lbtype -invob $vob` or die "cant run lstype"; foreach $label (@labels){ print "$label\n"; } regards David / ClearCase Admin -----Original Message----- From: Javeed SAR [mailto:SAR.Javeed@;sisl.co.in] Sent: den 4 november 2002 06:12 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: hard coded Hi all, i am reading certain label names from textfile stored in a particular machine. I am working on WIN2k. For eg here i have kept it in machine blrk35ed. This becomes hard coded, is there any other way to read label names, because i dont' want to hard coded in my script. open(FILE,"\\\\BLRK35ED\\LABEL\\comepr_voblist.txt"); @str = <FILE>; close(FILE); foreach (@str){ $out=`cleartool mount $_`; Regards j@veed -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
