RE: Missing something about arrays.
Hmmm...Both replies haven't helped, I didn't understand Bruno's at all! (sorry Bruno). Maybe I should include a bit more of what I'm doing. My buttons are defined thusly... use Tk; my $save = $frame - Button ( -text = Save, -command = \ftp, )- pack (); my $exit = $frame - Button ( -text = Exit, -borderwidth = 5, -width = '10', -command = \ftp, )- pack (); etc... Then, I want a routine to disable all the buttons in one swell foop, sort of like this... our @buttons = (\$save, \$exit, etc, etc); sub disable_buttons { foreach $buttons (@buttons) { $buttons - configure (-state = 'disable'); } } The normal, and much more laborious way would be like this... sub disable_buttons { $save - configure (-state = 'disable'); $exit - configure (-state = 'disable'); etc. etc. } Thanks.

Making a line graph
Hi All, I need to write a script to produce a line graph (quick and dirty to prove a point)! Can anybody recommend the best module to use? Many thanks, Ian.

Invoking Help
Hi all, can someone point me in the correct direction for invoking help files from within a Perl TK application running on Microsoft Windows 98 on up to 2000?

perl-win32-users - Best way to return a path to a file ?
Hi, I have just started to code up a subroutine to return the path only from a complete path to a file. This must the the 3rd time in two months as I have mislaid the routine on my HD and searching for it would probably take longer than the coding. When writing this routine, I always seem to take the long way roundand this got my curiosity going and wondering what other solutions people have come up with that are more elegant and obvious than my own. I find many times that looking at someone elses code can provide an "aha" moment that last far beyong the snippet involved. If anyone cares to share their code for this - that would be cool.

Re: perl-win32-users - Best way to return a path to a file ?
Neil, This is a little sub that I rolled up to provide the path, filename, and extension: sub Fparse($){ local $_ = shift; my ($Delim, $Fp, $Fn, $Fe, $Pos1, $Pos2); # Check whether the filename contains forward or backward slashes. $Delim = (index($_,'/') -1) ? '/' : '\\'; # Find the last slash in the filename. $Pos1 = rindex($_,$Delim); # Extract the path if present. if ($Pos1) {$Pos1++; $Fp = substr($_,0,$Pos1)} else {$Fp = undef; $Pos1 = 0} # Find the last period in the filename. $Pos2 = rindex($_,'.'); # Extract the name and extension. if ($Pos2) {$Fn = substr($_,$Pos1,$Pos2 - $Pos1); $Pos2++; $Fe = substr($_,$Pos2)} else {$Fn = substr($_,$Pos1); $Fe = undef} return(($Fp,$Fn,$Fe));} =item Fparse($filename) =item =over 4 This routine accepts a string as an argument that will contain afilename and will parse the filename into the path, name, and fileextension. The parsed elements will be returned as an lvalue. An undefwill be returned for elements that do not exist in the passed filename, i.e.path and/or file extension. You could select just the path like this, assuming $file contains the fully qualified filename: ($path, undef, undef) = Fparse($file); Dirk Bremer - Systems Programmer II - ESS/AMS - NISC St. Peters636-922-9158 ext. 8652 fax 636-447-4471 [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.nisc.cc - Original Message - From: Neil To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2002 10:48 Subject: perl-win32-users - Best way to return a path to a file ?

In list context it returns two elements: (PATH, FILE) where PATH is the complete pathname component (including trailing backslash) and FILE is just the filename part. Note that no attempt is made to convert 8.3 components in the supplied FILENAME to longnames or vice-versa. Compare with Win32::GetShortPathName and Win32::GetLongPathName.
