Hey all. I'm trying to make a perl script create some bat scripts to run some specific command and run a few at a time. If that makes any sense. Anyhow, say there are 20 files in a dir. Now these files change at times, so to make it easier I'm making a perl script to make the bat scripts to run these specific commands on each file, reason is, so I can run a few at a time to save time. Now there are man more than this, but I'm making it simple just so I can expand on this later. Here is my convoluted script right now, I'm just using jpg's just as an example, but here it is:
The first result of 10 commands on 10 files works fine, but the second one is empty. Any pointers in the right direction? Thanks.: ------------- use File::Find; my @all_file_names; my $x = 0; my $file1 = 'C:/Users/MeHere/test1/thefile1.txt'; find sub { return if -d; push @all_file_names, $File::Find::name; }, 'C:/Users/MeHere/Downloads/Pics/Temp'; open FILE, ">$file1" or die $!; for my $path ( @all_file_names ) { while ($x < 10) { $x = $x+1; print FILE "echo PART 1a\n" if $x == 1; print FILE "pause\n" if $x == 1; #$path = (s/\//\\/g); (also trying to replace / with \ for windows) print FILE "do this command $path -d -S 10\n" if $path =~ /\.JPG/; print FILE "Done with PART 1a\n" if $x == 10; print FILE "pause\n" if $x == 10; print "$x\n"; } close FILE; my $file2 = 'C:/Users/MeHere/test1/thefile2.txt'; open FILE, ">$file2" or die $!; while ($x < 20) { $x = $x+1; print FILE "echo PART 1b\n" if $x == 11; print FILE "pause\n" if $x == 11; print FILE "do this command $path -d -S 10\n" if $path =~ /\.JPG/; print FILE "Done with PART 1b\n" if $x == 20; print FILE "pause\n" if $x == 20; print "$x\n"; } } close FILE; ------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
