hi,
i need to delete some directories recursively which are present at some
shared location
i tried file::path perl module but the issue with that module is , it is not
deleting the root/parent dir
it deletes the subdirectories and all the files inside that but not removing
root dir
here is my code:
$path = "\\\\build\\" . "f\$" .
"\\Store\\build\\Internal_Builds\\Daily_Builds\\Daily\\zoc\\" .
$hash_fin{$key};
print "$path\n";
print "**********\n";
remove_tree($path,{verbose => 1,safe => 1,keep_root => 0});
now whaat i expect is , module shud delete the dir which is there in $path
but it does not
plz suggest
regards
irfan
Hello irfan,
why are you using 2 leading backslashes at the start of your path?
$path = "\\\\build\\"
Shouldn't there only be 1 backslash?
$path = "\\build\\"
By the way, perl will recognize forward slashes for Windows paths like:
"/build/" . "f\$" . "/Store/build/Internal_Builds/Daily_Builds/Daily/zoc/" .
$hash_fin{$key};
which will save some typing and looks better as well!
