Subject: simple file reading question
I have a file containing a list of names, for example:
S2000123456.met
S2000123457.ozone
S2000123458.hdr
S2000234569.met
.
. etc.
I'm looking for a short way to read these filenames onto an array.
I tried:
my @fils = <$indir/filename>;
...... but this just gives me the name of my input file
I can do this, but it seems cumbersome.
open LF or die "Can not find file: \n $infile $!\n";
sysread LF, $filename, 50000;
@imgs = split(/\n/,$filename);
close (LF);
Thank you in advance.
