How to check read only

[samueln12]

Hi ALL,

I have a MS 2003 server. All my text files are available in the server.

I have 5 clients attached to the server.

Now what i want is

If any client user opens a text file from the server, other client user should be able to know that this file is already opened.

How to do this in Perl.

Note: i want to do this client side

Thanks
Sam

Could you keep an active "state-log" for the files?
It doesn't have to be that fancy, just a text document with the names of the files in use. When the files are no longer in use, remove the name from the file. Or you could use a Database...

Perl is not executed client side.
It's executed on the server...
Besides that, your files are located server side so how is client-side code supposed to know about what's going on server-side without connecting to the sever first?

I recommend you re-examine your requirements.
