ExtBasic 9..!

[SpiderDude]

i suck at perl guys, for me perl is a list of signs....i can use some of my PHP and web developing knowledge to help myself, but i cant figure this out....
Can someone please help me???

After seeing this i went to the mission and saw what was wrong with it. Granted i dont know alot on perl this seems very straight forward. I dont know how to give you a clue on it but its pretty simple. Il do it when im on a computer.

[SpiderDude]

Well, if i completed almost every extbasic and most of the missions in HTS including the hard ones, i should figure this out, but im not
So please...Help me?

It's actually common sense, not Perl.

In fact, you don't need to know Perl at all, just how to work with files and being a Linux User helps a lot too.

[SpiderDude]

Well, that makes more sense now
last time i tried looking at it from the syntax point of view, never thought of involving common sense
ill try looking again
THANKS

EDIT: Nope.... i was never good at common sense, logical missions took me ages to solve.
i was glad i finished with them, but i found out most of the missions involve logic, which is good but makes it harder
So, still can't find out
im so desperate i even tried creating a for loop to make every logfile saved at different names (e.g: logfile1, logfile2)
i feel stupid>.<

Think about file access and how you open them!

Why doesn't changing

Code: Select all

open(STARTREKLOG, '>/var/log/startrek');

to

Code: Select all

open(STARTREKLOG . $DateTime, '>/var/log/startrek');

work?
I don't know much about Linux or Perl but that seems like s good way to go about it.

Because you want to keep the contents of the file; read about output redirection in unix.

It's pretty easy.

Ah.. so that's it!

Just read the open(http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/open.html) perl documentation, and learn more about the mode. that's all!
