How to create a txt,word file in c:,d: harddrives using perl?

Hi
I tried to create a file using sysopen command as the following

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. sysopen( SUSI,'c:\\susi.html',O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_CREAT, 0755);
  2. printf HTML "<html>\n";
  3. printf HTML "<head>\n";
  4. printf HTML "<title>Susintha Home page</title>;
  5. printf HTML "</head>\n";
  6. printf HTML "<body>\n";
  7. printf HTML "<p align='center'>this is an html
  8. page with a paragraph.</p>";
  9. printf HTML "</body>\n";
  10. printf HTML "</html>\n";
  11. close (HTML);
  12.  
But the file is not shown in c:
can anybody guide me to create the file in C or in D:

Did you load the Fcntl module?
Jun 26 '07 #2
No I did not load the module.
Is it needed to create a file with size in windows?
Jun 26 '07 #3
I tried this command ,it creating a directory and the file.
But I am unable to create a file if i get the filesize from the user.
can we do that by using that Fcntl module?
$dirname=chandani;
$subdir=arun;
system ("mkdir -p $dirname/$subdir touch $dirname/$subdir");
open (FILE1,">$dirname/$subdir/susi.txt");

In your code you have:

sysopen( SUSI,'c:\\susi.html',O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_CREAT, 0755);

these are constants:

O_RDWR|O_EXCL|O_CREAT

but they have no meaning unless you load them by using the Fcntl module. But you are using windows and I am not sure if O_RDWR and O_EXCL are supported by windows, but the file permission 0755 is not. You really do not have to use sysopen() to do what you want. And there is no need to shell out to the 'mkdir' command because perl has an internal function of the same name that does the same thing:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. use strict;
  2. use warnings;
  3. my $dirname = 'chandani';
  4. my $subdir = 'arun';
  5. mkdir "$dirname/$subdir" or die "Can't mkdir $dirname/$subdir: $!";
  6. open (FILE1,">$dirname/$subdir/susi.txt") or die "Can't open susi.txt: $!";
  7.  
you should be using the "strict" and "warnings' pragmas which is especially important for new perl coders.
