I am trying to get the date stamps of multiple files on a win32 machine using the strftime function in a foreach loop.
For testing purpose, I take a single file and get the modification time of it. This works. I then recycle my code and place it in a foreach loop. This fails. Error message is: Usage: POSIX::strftime(fmt, sec, min, hour, mday, mon, year, wday = -1, yday = - 1, isdst = -1) Here is my code: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Time::localtime; use Date::Calc qw(:all); use File::stat; use POSIX qw(strftime); #WORKS.... my $file = 'D:\BACKUPS\LOGS\S0000839.LOG'; my $s = stat($file) || die "Can't stat($file) $!\n"; my $modtime = strftime('%Y-%m-%d', localtime($s->mtime)); print($modtime); #FAILS..... my $dblogfile_dir = 'D:\BACKUPS\LOGS'; opendir(DH, $dblogfile_dir) or die "could not open directory: $!"; my @files = grep(!/^\.\.?$/, readdir(DH)); foreach my $member (@files) { my $file = "$dblogfile_dir\\$member"; my $s = stat($file) || die "Can't stat($file) $!\n"; my $modtime = strftime('%Y-%m-%d', localtime($s->mtime)); print($modtime); } closedir(DH); -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
