This is my code (something very simple): $variable = "Ordenes\nServicios\nGarantias"; format ORDENES = Text: ^* $variable ~~ ^* $variable .
But I don't know how can I see or print the output of this, and send it bye email. I tried with write(), but does not work. [jwm] Here is something I do... maybe this will give you some ideas... <snip> format EXCEPTIONS_TOP = @||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| "Daily Report of Oracle Account Exceptions" Prepared: @<<<<<<<<<< $date Account # Schema OS User Instance Platform Collected -------------- ------------------------- ------------ ------------------------- -------------------- ----------- . format EXCEPTIONS = @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<< $item{account}, $item{schema},$item{os_user},$item{instance},$item{platform},$it em{je_date} . </snip> ... <snip> open EXCEPTIONS, "| MAIL $to" or die "Open Failed"; ... write EXCEPTIONS; ... close EXCEPTIONS; </snip> Please note that this reply wrapped some of the formats... You may wish to try something like this before first write... <snip> print EXCEPTIONS "Subject: ...\n"; print EXCEPTIONS "From: ....\n"; </snip> hope this helps... jwm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
