Hi,
I've been using PERL quite succesfully for post processing logs etc. However i've thought of a useful idea that i'm not sure how to go about doing. This time rather than making a tool to post process static text files i was thinking about how i could do the following (in windows):
run a perl script in a console window.
the script actually runs/calls a dos FTP script i have.
the output normally seen from the FTP script in the console window is captured and processed by the script as it arrives and produces its own customised output for the user to see.
I have no idea how to begin this because i don't really know what i need and thus what to look for! Thanks in advance.
