This is what I had:
@found = remote_cmds ("find $remdir -name '*.zip'");
print "@found" look like this:
/path/file1.zip /path/file2.zip /path/file3.zip
@found is neither a list nor string,
That is correct, it is an array.
so it is not handy to deal with.
In scalar context, the command returns 1 (true), in list context it returns a list of files (one per line). But the value of @found is not a list,
That is correct, it is an array.
perldoc -q "What is the difference between a list and an array"
but I can't split it either.
I tried: @splitted list = spilt /\n/, @found; # didn't work! @splitted list = spilt / /, @found; # didn't work either
Has anyone an idea on how split the return?
I assume that you just want to remove the newline characters from the end of each array element?
