Hi, this is a working code snippet:
opendir (DIR, $dir) || die "Open failed: $!\n"; $\ = "\n"; while ($_ = readdir(DIR)) { print; }; But when I try to use while (readdir(DIR)) ... my script writes only empty lines. It seems that the proper number of empty lines are written. Does the prepended $_ change readdir's calling context? Or any other explanation? - Gergely -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
