does this works?	Can't Post

hi gurus,

does the following open and read the file???

$filename ='filepath';
open(THATFILE, "$filename") || die "cannot open $filename: $!";
while (<THATFILE>)
{
$_ = $DATA;
}

need to get some scripts to open/read contents of the txt file and mail it.

thanks a lot for helping.

Instead of

Code

while (<BLA>) { 
  $_ = $DATA; # Overwrite input from file with $DATA 
}

you probably want something like

Code

while (<BLA>) { 
  $DATA .= $_; # Append input from file to $DATA 
}

You also want to use 'use strict;' and 'perl -w' in your scripts from now on, if you don't do so already.
