Open File

[milage]

Hi,

I need to read in all the contents of a file.

I have got this far.

open(afile, &quot;<filename>&quot or die &quot;&quot;;
read(afile, my $buffer, 1000) or die &quot;&quot;;
close afile;

However, I don't want to just read in 1000 I want to read in the all the contents of the file.

How would I do this?

Cheers

Rob

Like this:

[tt]
open(FILE,&quot;filename.txt&quot or die &quot;Failed to open file: $!&quot;;
@contents = <FILE>;
close(FILE);
[/tt]

Then you can do whatever you wish with @contents.

Hope this helps.
