Re: Reading through a file and checking for a specific string

The code you posted doesn't compile because you are missing some semicolons. Please update your post with your actual code.

# Grab files from archive directory with glob function
@files = "/export/home/date_file*.txt";

You are not using glob here. @files is an array with one element: /export/home/date_file*.txt. Prove this to yourself (Tip #4 from the Basic debugging checklist).

Sorry about that. There were a couple lines I added manually while posting this question. That's why.	[reply]
