Why doesn't a copy work on each array element yet a glob does?
I'm assuming you eman copy() from File::Copy?
because copy()'s source doesn't do that I imagine. Is there
documentation for copy() that seems to indicate it does?
Is there a way to tell Perl to copy each element of the array off to
another file location?
Yes, write code that does it like you are doing below.
for (my $suffix=0; $suffix <= $#NBlogs2; $suffix++) {
foreach my $logs (@NBlogs2) {
copy ("$logs", "$oldir/$logs.$suffix") or die "Copy
failed $!";
}
}
Be consistent and use Best practives:
for my $n(0..$#NBlogs2) {
for my $log(@NBlogs2) {
copy $log, "$olddir/$log.$n" or warn "Copying $log to
$olddir/$log.$n failed: $!";
}
}
Output of @NBlogs is:
"output" in what way?
Are you getting a die triggeredd? Whats the errror?
Use thye code above and you;ll get more specific, usefull warning about
copy failing.
Sorry your questions don't make sense and I know you know better than to
assume people can read your mind :)
