| fromautumn2ash | hello channel i ran into a lil problem |
| pasteling | "f00li5h" at 202.7.166.163 pasted "spyroboy, i did horrible stuff to your code, but i have no way to know it works without your bot -- oh well" (39 lines, 666B) at http://sial.org/pbot/23281 |
| fromautumn2ash | how come i cant do $cmd=system("cat file0 | grep "*" > file1") |
| thrig | ewww. don't. |
| f00li5h | fromautumn2ash: something to do with the "" arround the * |
| fromautumn2ash | yeah perl told me |
| f00li5h | fromautumn2ash: oh, and the 1 argument system ... |
| imMute | fromautumn2ash: 1) system() returns the status value of th command 2) use a pipe open or `` or qx`` 3) read perldoc -f system 4) backwhack your inside quotes |
| CaT[tm] | backwhack? :) |
| fromautumn2ash | \ >? ? add a backslash? |
| imMute | yes \"*\" |
| thrig | more ewww! |
| f00li5h | thrig: there there |
| thrig | '*' qq{asdf "*"} |
| action | CaT[tm] puts on some gumboots and a raincoat incase thrig takes this to the next level. |

| dngor | We watched Life of Brian last night. |
| f00li5h | dngor: neat |
| dngor | Next weekend will probably be Meaning of Life. My daughter's a big Monty Python fan. |
| f00li5h | dngor: i see you have well adjusted children |
| dngor | Always use nonconducting tools. |
| fromautumn2ash | dngor: nonconducting screw drivers? |
| dngor | You don't want the values changing just because you're acting as a capacitor... or something. |
| f00li5h | and you don't want to be holding onto a screwdriver that's conducting 240 volts either |
| NOTevil | that's better then conducting it yourself. :P |
| mmlj4 | fromautumn2ash: you want a plastic or ceramic screwdriver when adjusting capacitors or inductors |
| f00li5h | and you don't want to be holding onto a screwdriver that's conducting 240 volts either |
| NOTevil | volts don't kill, amps do. |
| f00li5h | NOTevil: yeah, but 50 hurts! |
| fromautumn2ash | imMute: thx imMute: it worked another question I have though |
| thrig | ceramic screwdrivers can also slip through airport security |
