trouble writting to file

[Alexandre Jaquet]

Hi I could not find why, I can't write data
to my file :

open (FILE, ">$interfacePath/$interfaceFile") or die "cannot open
chmod (0775, "$interfacePath/$interfaceFile");
$interfacePath/$interfaceFile\n" ;

print FILE "test,test,test";

In my file : FILE :
/web/floor.ch/cms/interface/disquesoffice/Library/category/interface/test-save.icf

ls -al :


-rwxrwxr-x 1 www web 0 Apr 15 14:21 test-save.icf


thx in advance

Hi I could not find why,

Because you have a syntax error.

I can't write data
to my file :

Because the program never executes.

open (FILE, ">$interfacePath/$interfaceFile") or die "cannot open
chmod (0775, "$interfacePath/$interfaceFile");

^

There is the end of the argument to die()...

You should read the posting guideleines before posting a question.

open (FILE, ">$interfacePath/$interfaceFile") or die "cannot open
chmod (0775, "$interfacePath/$interfaceFile");
$interfacePath/$interfaceFile\n" ;

print FILE "test,test,test";

The above isn't valid Perl, looks like the chmod has been inserted in
the middle of the "open ... die ..." statement.

A perl program should start
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;

You shoulc close the file you opened.

In my file : FILE :
/web/floor.ch/cms/interface/disquesoffice/Library/category/interface/test-save.icf


ls -al :
-rwxrwxr-x 1 www web 0 Apr 15 14:21 test-save.icf

Your "die" should take care to print the error details: include $! in
the output.

e.g.
#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;
open (FILE, ">$interfacePath/$interfaceFile")
or die "cannot open $interfacePath/$interfaceFile because $!" ;
chmod (0775, "$interfacePath/$interfaceFile");
print FILE 'test,test,test';
close FILE;


You should read about lexical filehandles and 3-way opens:
open my $fh, '>', $filename or die ...

Understand the difference between "test,test,test" and 'test,test,test'.

If you do all the above at least you'll have an informative error message.

Understand the difference between "test,test,test" and 'test,test,test'.

There is none.

The example you have given does not use $ or \, so what point are you
trying to make?
