Hi Everyone, I am trying to match file & subdir names from a back tic generated list. I never find anything and there are files in the directory with a correct name. but if i make up a list to use as filenames it works as i expect ... any insight greatly appreciated
thanks Jim #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my @files = qw (filename1 filename2 filename3 filename4); #my @dir = qw (file filenaml filename filename2); my @dir = `dir`; foreach my $file (@files) { foreach my $line (@dir) { if ($file =~ m/$line/) { print "\nfound one\n"; } print "file - $file "; print "line - $line\n"; } } -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
