Re: Find files recursively and get their attributes

All of your regular expressions are broken because they assume that '.' is treated as a literal character when, in fact, within a regular expression dot is a metacharacter that means "match anything except for newline" (in the default case, as you are using it). Also I'm not sure if your use of "*" in the regexes is intended to be a quantifier, or a wildcard. If the latter, that's another bug.

At the least, you need to escape your '.' characters within the regular expressions using backslash: "\.".

Your problem description is vague. I'd rather know what output you are getting, and what you would like to get.

Thanks Dave for your reply.I will change my regular expressions and try capturing required files. Actual output i want is an xml file that lists all the files ending with .swtag,.sys,.sys2 and .cmptag with their sizes and their full paths. Actual output i am getting is an empty xml file with beginning and ending tags.That means,files which i need are compressed with in zip file and tar files.After uncompressing those archives using File::Find module,my desired files are not reported to the xml file.
