in reply to Re^2: glob a folder of images, and open text doc, find the matches and move the images.
in thread glob a folder of images, and open text doc, find the matches and move the images.

the output of your code is simlar to what i saw:

That's unlikely, since my code doesn't contain any prints. Not even your original code contains the word and that's showing up in this output. And I really don't see which code would cause the pathname to apparently be repeated six times in what appears to be the same string. Use Data::Dumper or Data::Dump for debug output like I suggested and post the actual code you're running, and maybe we'll have a chance to help. See How do I post a question effectively? and I know what I mean. Why don't you? in addition to Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example.

are you saying that i need to use /\Q$row/because of the paths?

Not quite, the \Q escapes metacharacters in $row that would otherwise be interpreted as regex characters. Anyway, that's not the only suggestion I made, what about the others?

    This is the full code image using. i added print for yours to see what it was doing, since it doesn't seem to find a match. 
    #!/usr/bin/env perl -w
use File::Find;
use File::Copy;
use File::Basename;
use File::Basename;
use File::Slurp;

use POSIX qw(strftime);

my $date = strftime("%m-%d-%y",localtime);
my $time = strftime("%I:%M:%S",localtime);


my $findme = "/Volumes/photorepos/Perl/SLAperlDropback/";
my $file_loc = $findme. '2SLAday';
my $filenames_to_putback = '/Volumes/photorepos/Perl/SLAperlDropback/d
+ropback.txt';


chdir($file_loc) or warn  "$!";
@filesforeach = glob "*.*";
my $filecount = @filesforeach;
print "$filecount\n";
chomp @filesforeach;
foreach $file (@filesforeach){
print "$file\n";



open(my $fh, "<", "$filenames_to_putback") or warn "$!\n";
while (my $row = <$fh>) {
  chomp $row;
  print "$row\n";
  
my @line = $file;
  for (@line) {
    if ($_ =~ /$row/) {
    chomp $_;
  push @output, "found $_ that matched redo $file $row <br>";
  move($_,$row) or warn "shit went wrong yo! $!\n";
}
}
}
}
print "@output\n";

    i added an else statment to your code with a print out. 
    #!/usr/bin/env perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Copy 'move';

my $findme = '/Volumes/photorepos/Perl/SLAperlDropback/';

chdir($findme.'2SLAday') or die "chdir: $!";

foreach my $file (glob "*.*") {
    open my $fh, '<', $findme.'dropback.txt' or die "open: $!";
    while ( my $row = <$fh> ) {
        chomp $row;
        if ( $file =~ /$row/ ) {
        print "$file\n";
        print "$row\n";
            move( $file, $row ) or die "move: $!";
        }
        else
        {
        print "$file has no match $!\n";
        }
    }
}

    i'm guessing that there is no movement because it won't find a match due to the paths are being interpreted as regex when it comes to the filenames in each row.

      It doesn't look like you took any of my suggestions so far.
