Re^6: how to move the folder from one directory to another directory?

This code will also fill up the stack as re_scan calls itself endlessly (Perl should even have warned you about "Deep recursion"). I'd really recommend you read up on recursion (e.g. Modern Perl: Recursion) and how to turn it into iteration, for example here: http://www.refactoring.com/catalog/replaceRecursionWithIteration.html

I think i understand what your saying. I could put all this into an endless loop and not call sub functions (recurse) over and over. Is that what you mean?	[reply]

In this case yes, exactly. The case in the other thread is a little bit different, which is why I'd still recommend reading up on recursion.	[reply]

Yeah, after i sat down and looked at my code in the other thread real good, i come to the conclusion that it needs completely rewritten. I will see what i can come up with and maybe repost it in a few days/weeks. I start my new job tomorrow at drake software, so i may not be around as much as id like.	[reply]
