Hi,
Background:
I have a @filelist that can have (guess what) several filenames.
I want to split the filenames in 3 arrays:
- if the file is in a directory *\templatedata\*\data\ it should go to array1;
- if the file is in a directory \binaries\* it should go to array2;
- any other file should go to array3;
My program is as follows, but I think someone around can make the same thing in 4 ir 5
lines :)
Several questions:
1) is there a way to specify on what var s/// works ?
2) any better way to see if the pattern matched ?
3) any smaller and faster way to do the same ?
sub is_data {
my $file = shift;
$file=~s/(.*?)templatedata(*.?)data\\//sig;
return $file;
}
sub is_binary {
my $file = shift;
$file=~s/^binaries//sig;
return $file;
}
my @array1=();
my @array2=();
my @array3=();
my @filelist=( "templatedata\\MyDir\\data\\0001.txt", "otherdir\\test.yxy",
"binaries\\movie.jpeg");
my $dummy;
foreach my $file (@filelist){
$dummy=is_data($file);
if($dummy eq $file){
$dummy=is_binary($file);
if($dummy eq $file){
push @array3, $dummy;
}
else
{
push @array2, $dummy;
}
}
else
{
push @array1, $dummy;
}
}
