Does anybody out there have any insight into this problem? > In Perl, <> means nothing in string, it only means : open FH, "file.txt"; $line = <FH>; close FH; it reads one line from the file.txt and give the value to $line. or open FH, "file.txt"; @lines = <FH>; close FH; it reads all the context to array (@lines) from file.txt, elems are splitted by each \n ( or \r\n ) from file.txt So, what your trying to looking for might be : print `searchtest <gimp> <10>`; # exec a shell command or print "searchtest $val1 $val2"; HTH > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
