Hi
Even though this is unix forum, iam posting this thread as iam not sure of which forum should i post this too.
I understand perl can be used in unix environment and i have used the same for automation of my processes.
Eg:
Open a file
search the text string
replace the text string
close the file
Iam looking for similar "perl for windows". Where i can do the same. Iam not sure if this can be done through the batch file though! (Again, because i could not find any information of using or creating batch scripts i could not continue further).
I somehow believe that "perl for windows" can be used for this automation
Open a file
search the text string
replace the text string
close the file
on windows environment.
Where do i get "perl for windows" or is it possible through the batch script or any other freeware?
Do request you to direct me, so that i can automate on windows too, how i did on unix!
If you enter the terms "perl for windows" into a certain popular search engine (which also powers this sites search), the very first result will be that of a company providing the probably most used Perl distribution.
Or go to perl.org -> Downloads, download the source and compile it yourself.
Now the Active perl has release version 5.10. I am not sure how extensively you are using the perl libraries in your scripting, still some of the ppm packages are not available for 5.10. For the version 5.8.X you can find pretty much all the ppm packages.
For Windows there is activeperl you can get from ActiveState Home and Strawberry perl that you can get from Strawberry Perl. If you neede to run perl scripts automatically on Windows you use the task manager for that.
If you have a new version of Windows I recommend Strawberry perl 5.10, make sure you get the correct version for your OS, XP/Vista/2000 32 bit or 64 bit.
Hi,
Thanks to all you folks (KevinADC, hansini, pludi) for giving me direction.
Iam not using any extensive perl stuff. Only basics or may be small part of perl.(Iam yet to go in for big programs, though!!)
Below is the perl part iam using on unix. I have put these contents in a shell script and running it. This saves my time (by opening in vi, editing, saving).
I plan to use the same on windows too.(Just editing a file contents).
The file contents in the shell script on unix (just the perl part) iam giving below:
I shall update how it works on windows after i download and install perl on windows. I hope i will create a batch script and put in these contents and check the same.
I am not too familiar with linux, so please keep that in mind while reading this post. We have a few linux servers joined to the domain, and linux services for windows running. I have a user that can connect to one linux server, but not another.
