in thread multiple file operations using perl one-liners

-n + chomp can be replaced with -nl.

That should be /\t/, I think? -a would be better than split

du -b */*/old.zip | perl -F\\t -lane'system zip => "-d", $F[1], "*exe* +"'

Or shorter and simpler yet:

du -b */*/old.zip | perl -ne'system zip => "-d", /\t(.*)/, "*exe*"'

My earlier comment on error checking still applies.

    That last one totally rocks, Ikegami!

    I always learn something when I post here.

    Thanks - quite useful to know.

    Gotta re-read the perlrun-manpage.

    Or:

    perl -e'system zip => -d => /\t(.*)/, "*exe*" for `du -b */*/old.zip`'

      Is there any advantage to this variant? It's longer and buggy (missing chomp). It's also less clear due the weird use of => to separate two of three arguments, especially when it's also used to associate the arguments to the command.

      Either way, I just realised du is useless.

      perl -e'system zip => "-d", $_, "*exe*" for @ARGV' */*/old.zip

        TMTOWTDI    ;-)

        perl -e'system "zip", "-d", $_, "*exe*" for <*/*/old.zip>'
