hi, Does anyone know of a module I could use to constantly capture output within a timeframe? Basically, I want to capture everything that a console is spitting out for 60 seconds. Then I'm planning to search through the output to look for a specific phrase. Any tips would be much appriciated...

can someone break this down for me? I'm still trying to understand regular expressions: $test =~ /^(.*): +(.*)$/) thanks, gammaman

you guys have all been a big help. I have one more question on regular expressions though. I want to make an if statement that will print out the line if a word is in the first pair of parenthesis. for example, these would print out: 1. (blah blah WORD) blah blah blah blah 2. (WORD) blah blah...

Hi, I'm trying to verify this line of code: select( ( select( STDOUT ), $| = 1 )[ 0 ] ); this line is in a file that takes in 3 arguments. From what I read from my oreilly book, does this mean that select will return the output filehandle if there is at least 1 arguement? thanks, gammaman1

I'm trying to store a large amount of data into a variable, and then ouputting the results to a text file. open results, ">results"; $test = `execute program that will output`; print results "$test"; close results; so now I will have a huge text file named results. But when I run this, the...

Hi, I just installed windows XP on my machine, and I was trying to figure out how to output the results of an execution to a file. For example: check_execute("grep test testfile"); sub check_execute { if (system("$_[0]") != 0) { print "failed execution"; print ($?>>8)...
