Hi! I started out with
$stat = stat("$gallery_dir/$pix_base") ;
$mode = decoct($stat[mode]) ;
print "mode = '$mode'<br>\n" ;
and moved to
$stat = stat("$gallery_dir/$pix_base") ;
print "decoct(stat[mode]) is '" . decoct($stat[mode]) . "'<br>\n"; ###
but I would like to get rid of $stat as well. How can I feed the proper
subscript output of the stat call to decoct? I've found that
print "decoct(stat(file)[mode] is '" . decoct($stat("$gallery_dir/$pix_base")[mode])
. "'<br>\n" ; ###
gives me a parse error, while
print "decoct(stat(file)[mode] is '" .
decoct(${stat("$gallery_dir/$pix_base")}[mode]) . "'<br>\n" ; ###
just returns 0. Do I *have* to use a temp array here?
TIA & HAND
:-D
