Simple Perl problem

Hello,

While learning perl., i had a example to do with getopt :

my sample program is :

http://rapidshare.com/files/47947512/getopt.pl

i have came across with the below error :
Kindly, someone help me to get thru this error if you know !

 

I'm no perl expert but i would imagine you need a space between the print and the quotes on line 10 of your perl script.

 

i tried to give a space before itself.
but no luck !
any perl expert here ?
please help me !

 

It might help if you posted the perl script - the page you post to is just an html page?

 

I have uploaded here.
Once you download it, change the extension to .pl from .txt !

hope that will help you as well as me !

Regards !

 

ok, i made two changes to make it work on my server...

I changed the mixed case "If" to "if" on line 9

and added curly brackets after the condition.

try this instead...

se Getopt::Std;
getopts (":S:n:",\%args);
if (defined $args{s}){
$string = $args{s};
}
if (defined $args{n}) {
$number = $args{n};
}
if (!defined $args{s} or !defined $args{n}){
print "Usage: Perl $0 -s String -n Number/n";
exit;
}
print "this is a string = $string this is a Number = $number/n";

Code (markup):

Now, I still get an error which says...

Can't locate object method "se" via package "Getopt::Std" (perhaps you forgot to load "Getopt::Std"?) at ./getopt.pl line 1.

But I'm assuming you've got something configured I haven't.

 

it should be 'use' not 'se'

use Getopt::Std;

 

of course if you want to use less memory by eliminating the variables and speed it up by eliminating the extra conditionals (if)

use Getopt::Std;
getopts (":S:n:",\%args);
if (defined $args{s} && defined $args{n}){
 print "this is a string = $args{s} this is a Number = $args{n}/n";
}
else {
 print "Usage: Perl $0 -s String -n Number/n";
 exit;
}

Code (markup):

 

that was easy DRAG RACER, Thanks a lot
Thanks to you too Ecentrix !

 

lol. This is an easy fix. at the end of the print statements you have /n";

You need to replace it with \n";

Notice the difference in the slashes. If you don't know how to type the correct slash it is SHIFT+BUTTON ABOVE ENTER
