You didn't say whether everything between <!CDATA[ and ]]> is on a single line, but, if so, something like the below should work. If not you would have to handle matching across multiple lines. I am sure there is a cleaner way, but it should work substituting ./xml_logs with whatever the...

I'm running Apache 2.2.0, a recent upgrade from 2.0.49, on Solaris 8. Under 2.0.49 we were using a complicated javascript driven HeaderName file and fairly simple ReadmeName file which worked well withour directory listings. Following the upgrade the output from a directory listing is now...

Thanks PHV, that did the trick. Any idea why it works properly in a BEGIN statement, but not as a command line switch? Appreciate the assistance. Derek

Thanks PHV. I will give it a try and let you know. Derek

I have a ksh script that utilizes nawk to set some variables. It is running succesfully on two of my domains, one running on a SUN E250 and Solaris 7 and one on a SUN Ultra80 running Solaris 8. On my third domain, I have the same script running on an Ultra10 under Solaris 8 and on only this...

How about if ( $diff_time/3600 > 12 ) { # 3600 seconds in an hour print "i$diff_time is more than 12 hours.\n"; } else { print "The time is less than 12 hours.\n"; } Derek

Sigh, tested it twice to confirm I needed to escape the dot and then forgot to enter it that way in my post. Must have been having a bad night. Thanks. [blush] Derek

PH and JR, Thank you both very much for your assistance. Looking at PR's second post made me go back and take another look at my attempted use of eval and my debugging output. Turned out that I was assigning the value I needed when using eval, just wasn't retreiving the value properly. I...

Thanks PH, The probelm is that I would like $param prepended to _output and have that variable (${param}_output) evaluate to the full path. The actual script has needs the the $param to find some other information. I've read the man ksh man page several times. Guess I am particulalry dense...

Sticking with your split you could also do: [code] @split_email = split(&quot;.&quot;, $name&quot;); print ucfirst($split_email[0]).&quot;.&quot;.ucfirst($split_email[1]).&quot;\n&quot;; [code] The ucfirst() function converst the first character for the string to upper case. Derek

I am trying to assign variables using the value of other variables and not getting what I want can someone point me in the right direction please? This is what I have tried: I have a list of parameters in a file called /home/userid/paramdir/params to process in a new line delimited file as...

axman, I installed DBD-mysql last week and encountered the same problem with my MacOSX installation. After a bit of reading I finally got it working. If you run mysql_config, which should be in the bin directory for your mysql installation it will return the configuration settings, which you...

Andrew, CadGuy and Ishnid, Thank you all very much for the tips. I am going to have to study some more on the exec and fork as when I tried the exec unless(fork) I ended up with many more processes running than I expected. Probably a problem in my loop code some where that I will have to dig...

I would like to call an external perl script from within a loop, passing it one argument and then continue with the loop without waiting for the external script to return. I don't need to capture anything from the external script as it records it's actions in a separate log file. I think from...

nrb501, Pastor Rob, Thanks for the replies. I'm afraid I missed them earlier. I did finally get it working but I had to set the MAC (using OS X 10.2.4) to DHCP with manual IP. For some reason it just would not get an IP from the DHCP server run by ICS. Strange. As it turned out I couldn't...
