append question
I have a .pl script that is grabbing information and creating two different .txt files, I need to append one to the other.


Code:
     open GARPFILE;
     open GARPFILEXX;
     cat $gGarpFileXx >> $gGarpFile;
  
     close GARPFILE;
     close GARPFILEXX;

but I'm getting this:
Useless use of right bitshift (>>) in void context at ./xx_garp_test.pl line 296.

I know this should be simple but it's driving me crazy!
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance

I'd do something like this, there is probably a simpler way of doing it.

Code:
$ cat ./append.pl
#! /usr/bin/perl

my $file1;
my $file2;

$file1 = "./file1";
$file2 = "./file2";

open( FILE1, "< $file1" );
open( FILE2, ">> $file2" );
while ( <FILE1> ) {
  print FILE2 $_;
}
close( FILE1 );
close( FILE2 );

Cheers
ZB
