John, thanks for the heads-up, I saw the errors and modified the lines.
For anyone wanting to do this on their own system...
--------------------------------------------
sub cleanup{
use strict;
my $dirname = "/home/data";
my $file;
my $newfile;
my $line;
opendir (DIR, $dirname) or die "Can't opendir $dirname: $!"; while
(defined($file = readdir(DIR))) {
next if $file =~ /^\.\.?$/;
open (OLDFILE, "< $file");
$newfile = $file . "_nice";
open (NEWFILE, "> $newfile");
while ($line = <OLDFILE>) {
$line =~ s/^ //;
$line =~ s/ $//;
$line =~ s/\t/|/g;
$line =~ s/\s+/ /g;
print NEWFILE "$line\n";
}
close OLDFILE;
close NEWFILE;
}
}
--------------------------------------------
