Re: Accessing printer functions
On Thu, 7 Jun 2001, Clive Lansink wrote: I need to write a Perl application that must produce some printed information which requires both portrait and landscape printing at the same time, with lines and boxes. This is for a Windows 98 system. I've been pondering on how best to do this and have the following questions: [...] * What is the simplest way nowadays to program an application to have good printer control and to produce reports etc with a variety of fonts, lines and boxes etc. I can't speak to doing this on a windows system, but on unix, I've done something similar by creating passing an arrray to enscript containing the escape codes and text that I want, and telling enscript to print to standard out, storing that in another array, which I then send to the printer later in the script. I can send you my script for reference, if it will help, but I don't know if enscript is available for windows, and I have no idea how to do the same thing with PCL. --Sandy -- sandor w. sklar unix systems administrator stanford university itss-css
Re: Installing Perl on AIX platform
it sounds like your download was incomplete. You may want to try downloading it again. FYI, AIX 4.3.3 comes with perl; other binary distributions are available from various places. -s- At 3:11 PM -0400 6/1/01, Swappan Das wrote: Please some body help me .

pulling out part of a /path/to/a/file
Hi, folks ... I'm generating a list of files (from a find subroutine) and putting them in an array. The list looks like ... /home4/dsadmin/7790/DocuShare/documents/b003/File-11523.1 /home4/dsadmin/7790/DocuShare/documents/b003/File-11587.1 /home4/dsadmin/7790/DocuShare/documents/b003/File-11651.1 /home4/dsadmin/7790/DocuShare/documents/b004/File-1156/html/main.htm /home4/dsadmin/7790/DocuShare/documents/b004/File-1604/html/main.htm (... a small sample) and I'm trying to get just the File- part of each line; some lines that I am matching against will have a trailing slash, with additional path info that I'm not interested in; other lines will have a period and a number following, which I am also not interested in. Perhaps the File::Basename module would do what I want, but I can't get my mind around its documentation. I thought of using split on each line (splitting on the /, and then looking each element of the array returned), but that seems, well, stupid. I'm sure that there is some really simple magic here; I just don't see it. Can someone enlighten me please? Thanks, -s- -- sandor w. sklar unix systems administrator stanford university itss-css
