There are several ways to approach that. Here are a couple of the easiest:

  • opendir will let you read the list of files in the source directory. You could then use a foreach loop to open each of them in turn, read the contents, do your transformation, open a corresponding file in the output directory, and write your transformed content to it.
  • You could also just use a pattern glob, perhaps something like this:
    foreach my $file (</path/to/sourcedir/*>) { # ... }
    This is slightly less portable (because the syntax of your glob is platform-dependent), and less flexible (because the glob is hardcoded, so it's harder to do things like read the source directory path from a config file), but for a quick-and-dirty hack, it's easier to get working quickly.

HTH.HAND.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
