#make sure $part_num is formatted correctly to keep someone form doing bad things with
the backtick execution
I am not familiar with the term backtick so I do not really understand your warning.
The part number will be entered to look like this: 68-2208-04
At what part of my code would I put a statement like this? Would it be before the open
statement or replace it?
Thanks
$data = `cat file.txt |grep $part_num`;
if($data) { print "Here is your info :\n$data\n"; }
else { print info to file or whatever here }
You like newlines a lot don't you :)
The newlines are not permanent. I use them to space out the outputs in my dos window
so that I can follow it easier. They will be removed. :)
