I've got a REALLY annoying problem here. In one of my script, I have the following to delete the old content.rdf.u8.gz file, then get the new one, and then decompress it. For some reason the old file is not getting deleted, and the new one is still being downloaded, but being saved as content.rdf.u8.gz.1 etc. Anyone see any stupid errors here that would cause the file not to delete?


Any ideas would be appreciated

`unlink content.rdf.u8.gz`;

=>

unlink "content.rdf.u8.gz";


`gzip -d content.rdf.u8`;

=>

Umm you can't decompress something that isn't gzipped

Ah, thanks for the first one. As for the second, wanna bet? Just verified it, and it works ok without the .gz part on the end...LOL (as long as there is no file there that is called content.rdf.u8.gz from previous tries, otherwise it will try and read that).

Thanks

Yeah I do want to bet.

I'll bet you $25,000 that you can't decompress a file using gzip when it is already uncompressed

I was saying that it would decompress a file called content.rdf.u8.gz if you just typed gzip -d content.rdf.u8 actually ;)
