I am trying to cd into a directory referenced by a value in a list with wildcards like shell command ls test* or cd test*
however nothing seems to work, I have tried amongst others $dir9= system("ls $dir1.*\$"); opendir(DIRLIST,"."); $dir9=grep$dir1.*\$, readdir DIRLIST -- Linux, Gnome what more do you need http://www.redtux.demon.co.uk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
