Hi mua, Taking a leap from previous comments on this thread, maybe you want something like this: `use warnings; use strict; use File::Find; use File::stat; find( \&wanted, '.' ); sub wanted { return if $_ eq '.' or $_ eq '..'; my $st = stat($_); print sprintf "Filename: %s, Size: %s, Date Modified: %s\n", $_, $ +st->size, scalar localtime $st->mtime; }` [download] When more files are added to this folder, I need to append to the current text file Please, take a look at function open Hope this helps If you tell me, I'll forget. If you show me, I'll remember. if you involve me, I'll understand. --- Author unknown to me	[reply] [d/l]

Also check out Merlyn's File::Finder, which offers a simpler interface for tasks like this. When's the last time you used duct tape on a duct? --Larry Wall	[reply]

What do you mean by "type"? With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

...what he sees in the Explorer column "Type", the file type association? E.g.: Explorer shows "Firefox HTML Document" for hmtl files - if the associated action is "open with Firefox". Regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply]

With "type" you mean the suffix of the file(s), right? Here is another small solution that might do the job. Give it a try. It should be easy to order the output according to your needs. Some illuminated brothers provided already some links for further reading/diving deeper a.s.o. `#!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe + use strict; use warnings; use IO::All; use File::Basename; my ( $in, $out, $io_objects, @line ); ( $in, $out ) = @ARGV; @io_objects = io($in)->all; for my $io_object (@io_objects) { if ( $io_object->type eq 'file' ) { @line = ( $io_object->name, ( $io_object->stat )[7], ( $io_object->stat )[9], ( fileparse( $io_object, qr/\.[^.]*/ ) )[2], ); } join( "\t", @line ) . qq(\n) >> io($out); } __END__` [download] Regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply] [d/l]
