Hi Guys
I am running into an issue trying to determine whether a file exists when the name varies.
The file has a name that always begins with "vista90n" and so I tried the following code ...
if (-e "/home/skhan01/perl/file_tests/vista90n*") {
print ("Files exist!\n");
}
apparently wildcards don't work in this way using the "-e" switch. Does anyone know how
to use wildcards with the "-e" switch or do I have to create a list of file names and parse them?
I even tried using the "\*" but no dice ....
Thanx
