Like the others in this group, I too am struggling with PERL and fear I have
bitten more than I can chew.
So I raise my problem to the collective:
I have to write a PERL script that:
1) Collects *.PDF file names off a CD,
2) Parses the filename and
3) saves this information (and some additional information) as a text file
*.ATT.
My script does 1, 2, and 3.
BUT, each file on the CD needs its own matching ATT file.
For example:
Patient 11176.PDF ---> I need to create ----> Patient 11176.ATT
Patient 11180.PDF ---> I need to create ----> Patient 11180.ATT
.....
I cannot figure out how to code PERL to perform steps 1, 2, and 3 for each
PDF and save it as a matching ATT file.
There can be as many as 100 PDF files on a CD.
Any help that can be offered would be incredibly appreciated.
Bill
