Error while running CLT iwcat from perl script

Raj1502

Hi all,

My objective is to extract the version of file using CLT iwcat. I am trying using this CLT in my below code:

$set_cmd = '/teamsite/iw-home/bin/iwcat -o ' . "$result " . "$cur_dir/$orig_filename";
print "Command to get versions is $set_cmd\n";

$getversion= `$set_cmd`;
print $getversion;

In $result, we are collecting Obj id and $cur_dir and $orig_filename are having the current dir and filename respectively.

While running this code, I am getting below output:

Command to get versions is /teamsite/iw-home/bin/iwcat -o 0x000010084731778340001d8d
/iwmnt/default/main/manual_content/clio/WORKAREA/main/pages/html/test_02.html
Usage: iwcat filevpath
Usage: iwcat -o fileobjid directoryvpath
to print contents of the specified file.
sh: /iwmnt/default/main/manual_content/clio/WORKAREA/main/pages/html/test_02.html: cannot execute

can anyone have any clue? Thanx in advance.

Regards,

I think you need to do a

chomp($result);

before you try to combine it in

$set_cmd = '/teamsite/iw-home/bin/iwcat -o ' . "$result " . "$cur_dir/$orig_filename";

- it's forcing a newline into your command string - and thus the path to the file is being seen as a separate command, not an argument to the iwcat command.
