hi,

i need to print the output of a command on the console at runtime
lets say, i need to execute find command .as of now , what i am doing is ,

[at] cmd= `find . -name "abc"`;
print " [at] cmd\n";

now what happens is, once the command completed then it will send entire output to [at] cmd
and then entire output gets printed to console in one shot

instead of that , i need output to be printed as it progresses


plz suggest


regards
irfan

You can use system command inside perl

system(" find . -iname 'abc'");

You have two choices that I can think of:

1. Use the Perl module File::Find instead of forking an external
process to run the operating system's find command.

See 'perldoc File::Find'.

Example (untested):

use File::Find;
find( sub{
return unless $_ eq 'abc';
print qq($File::Find::name\n)
}, q(.)
);

2. Fork the find program using open and a mode parameter of '-|'
instead of back-quotes.

See 'perldoc -f open'.

Example (untested):

open( my $find, '-|', q(find . -name "abc")) or die("Can't fork find
program: $!");
while( <$find> ) {
print;
}

open my $PIPE, '-|', 'find', ',', '-name', 'abc' or die "Cannot open
pipe from 'find' because: $!:

while ( <$PIPE> ) {
print;
}

close $PIPE or warn $! ? "Error closing 'find' pipe: $!"
: "Exit status $? from 'find'";
