Hey thanks a lot for your help. Now my perl pgm is working. I want to try this pgm in windows. i have installed perlIDE and DzSoft perl editor. As i was giving the file path as command line argument in linex i don’t know how to give it in windows. i tried giving direct path in the pgm but its not working. can u just let me know how to give the path

I tried with this(context is the folder name which contains .c and .h files)

$path=\context;

$path="\context";

$path =C:\Documents and Settings\bindiya.d\Desktop\example\context;

Its not taking the path in this way.
