Hi Wes,
Thanks for getting back to me..!
I'm trying to determine if the issue is the way I am using PAR/pp, or if the
script I have created is simply not able to find the text files or the CLI
executible the way I am referencing them.
I've even tried putting them in a a folder call script; i.e.:
script\cli.exe, script\txt, script\txt\file.txt:
.
..
file.pl (PERL Script)
script
|
cli.exe (DOS CLI executible)
script |
txt (folder)
|
file1.txt (text file)
file2.txt (text file)
file3.txt (text file)
file4.txt (text file)
This works, in that the resulting archive has them in the same relative path
as the script.pl (within the script folder), however, the script is not
finding the cli.exe, and is not able to find and parse the text files in the
script\txt folder (which may be a path issue in then script).
I'm still very new to using PAR/pp, so I'm not familliar with it's internal
capabilites.. is PAR_TEMP built in to PAR or pp.. can I use it in a script
that doesn't use PAR..?
Many thanks for all of your help and support on this..!
Thomas
