Can someone explain the difference between backticks and system when
evaluated in these if statements:
sub getDate {
print "start date\n";
if ( system("/bin/date") ) {
print "can't get date\n";
exit(2);
}
print "finish date\n";
}
Returns the following:

I'm always concerned I might be abusing backticks within my scripts. A current script I'm writing has this for example:
stripscriptname=`echo $scriptname | sed 's/\(.*\)\..*/\1/'`
stripsearch=`echo $searchpattern | tr -d ' ,/'`
Both of these variables are set inside the script (in fact,... (2 Replies)
Hey all. Just a fast question, what is the technical difference between using back ticks and using xargs to perform a command?
Here's an example
Find /mydir -name *.conf |xargs rm
Vs
Rm 'find /mydir -name *.conf'
Is there a performance hit? I know they do the same thing but which is... (1 Reply)
Hi everyone. This is a bit of a perl/linux mixed question. I am trying to redirect STDOUT of chsh by using the following line of perl code.
system ("chsh -s /sbin/nologin $testing 1>/dev/null");
This should redirect STDOUT to /dev/null but it won't do that for some odd reason. Any ideas or... (6 Replies)
Input file:
'data_1'
'data_10'
'data1311'
'235data_13'
Desired output:

Can I know how to remove back tick"'" in a file?
Many thanks for advice. (3 Replies)
Hi all,
Here is my code:
my $x = `bash -c \" ls -l filename | awk '{print \$5}'\"`;
print "$x\n";
This will run the first part of the bash script but not the awk command. It therefore gives output of:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13619200 2012-04-25 08:16 filename

I'm trying to make a dialog window that prints the output of grep that takes the output of find. Unfortunately my nested backticks don't work.
Here is the dialog window:

But I love my back-ticks - I know exactly how to escape them (after too many years) - I always seem to end unbalanced with ().
However, I shall take the hint. (One more trick for this dog... aka - not too old yet!) :);) (17 Replies)

locale::codes::langext
Locale::Codes::LangExt(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Locale::Codes::LangExt(3pm)NAME
Locale::Codes::LangExt - standard codes for language extension identification
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangExt;
$lext = code2langext('acm'); # $lext gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic'
$code = langext2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm'
@codes = all_langext_codes();
@names = all_langext_names();
DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangExt" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language extensions, such as those as defined in
the IANA language registry.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language
registry codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language extensions. A code set may be specified using either a name, or
a constant that is automatically exported by this module.
For example, the two are equivalent:
$lext = code2langext('acm','alpha');
$lext = code2langext('acm',LOCALE_LANGEXT_ALPHA);
The codesets currently supported are:
alpha
This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'acm' for Mesopotamian Arabic.
This is the default code set.
ROUTINES
code2langext ( CODE [,CODESET] )
langext2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
langext_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
all_langext_codes ( [CODESET] )
all_langext_names ( [CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext ( CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_alias ( NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::rename_langext_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::add_langext_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangExt::delete_langext_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )
These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
