Hi, I am trying to figure out how to open a datafile without knowing the name of the datafile. For example, using the below code, I can open the datafile LogFile.dat from the folder where the script is located. Both the script and LogFile.dat are saved in the same folder therefore the below code works.
$inputFile="LogFile.dat"; # Opening LogFile.dat open (DATA,$inputFile)||die("Can't open datafile: $!"); However, if I didn't know the name of the datafile how would I open it? I tried $inputFile="(*).dat"; and $inputFile="*.dat"; but neither works. Does anyone have any ideas?
