Well then you would pass them as separate args: `$ ./gt.pl 'j.1.txt' 'j.txt' 'q*.1.txt'` [download] Obviously the first argument here is redundant as it is a subset of the second. 🦛	[reply] [d/l]

Is there any way I can pass the all the files in the program and NOT on the command line??? Firstly the list is of the files is huge and I am reading those files to extract the data from those files in the same program..	[reply]

Is there any way I can pass the all the files in the program and NOT on the command line The arguments in my previous post are not files - they are globbing patterns. It is important that you understand the difference. `j.txt` could match thousands of files and you would still only need the one command line argument. OTOH, if you need a huge list of patterns* the first question is "Why?". Perhaps they can be amalgamated. If not you can simply refer to this huge list of patterns by loading them from a local datafile or from a URL or from a database or from somewhere else. 🦛	[reply] [d/l]
