wow, thankyou that solves all my problems ....perl really does have an answer for everything doesnt it
script now returns
Code:
# ./time.pl
datetime equals 2009-09-01 11:04:03
---------- Post updated at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous update was at 05:04 AM ----------
just out of interest and to save me repeating this code throughout my script when i need it, is there an easy way to functionise this ?
I tried this
Code:
#!/bin/perl -w
sub xxtime() {
my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst)=localtime(time);
my $datetime = sprintf "%4d-%02d-%02d %02d:%02d:%02d\n",$year+1900,$mon+1,$mday,$hour,$min,$sec;
return $datetime;
}
xxtime();
print "\n time date equals $datetime\n";
but it returns a null value for $datetime
presumably perl has the ability to create functions that
a) i dont pass arguments to
b) return an updated value for a variable that i can use elsewhere in the script

I want to set a variable to be any number of dashes. Rather than doing the following:
MYVAR="------------------"
I'd like to be able to set the variable to, say, 80 dashes but don't want to have to count 80 dashes. Is there a way to do this? (2 Replies)

How do you set a varible with information that contains a string and also another variable? For example:
subject="Attention: $name / This $type needs your attention"

Hi,
i have a variable which i would like to set inside an if block
for example
IS_VAR=0
if

echo IS_VAR

Thanks ,
